    They're unimpressive but OK on a Trac II handle, never tried them on an Atra handle. I think they are cheaper than that at west Coast shaving.

    Yeah I found a great deal at Amazon where you get 20 for less than $8.
    I feel so.....used....

    I really like these Personna blades and use them for my Trac II and Atra handles. I have 200 on hand :)

    $17 bucks later these arrived - NIB/NOS Atra razor and 30-31 cartridges.
    Still debating if I should keep the box unopened (it's sealed) or break it open :D

    I believe that you should use your purchases (unless if very rare).

    Nice Picture. I hate to say this, but I am not a fan of Fusion (orange) cartridges at all. For me, the proglide is the best. :)

    Leave it in the box, I would say.

    :eatdrink013: I see what you did there, eeyore.

    Haha ... no, I really meant to keep it "as is". There are enough regular protectors to be found without the 007 reference, so I would keep this one mint.

    Finally received it today :)

    In like-new condition, great weight to it and feels super comfortable.

    Great pictures and a great razor :) . What is that one top of the cartridge? A push button?

    I still have my Trac-II for travel and emergency exits. I think it's still the best cart razor out there. It got me thru high school, bootcamp and 35 years of marriage.

    It's a button connected to a piece of plastic between the blades that pushes out debris. Not a bad idea, but no real substitute for proper venting - a design element that seems to elude most Trac II knockoff manufacturers, even good ones like Merkur (whose cartridge this appears to be).

    Exactly what I was wondering. Gillette never has used a push button design for their trac-II carts.

    They don't need to, because they got the design right the first time.

    Agreed. Safe and easy loading combined with a stable fit and no 'moving' parts. Very good design for a shaving implement.

    Added another vintage cartridge razor to the stable.
    Now waiting on this Wilkinson T70 model.
