I am glad I can get it online because it is not sold in my supermarket and drug stores anymore!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fleeting star, December 12, 2008
By Stephen (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews
Unfortunately Schick has opted not to distribute the Tracer FX any longer, at least where I live. I was happy to find the product here, but then saddened by the additional shipping expense. Both Schick and Gillette are now selling the higher-priced "quad" razors which do little for shaving and really just allow them to inflate the price of an already redundantly-bladed razor. I used a single edge blade for years before moving to the 2-blade Tracer FX. This product, I found, worked quite well. What I like about the razor is that it holds the blade solid so that I can define how much pressure to apply to my skin. The newer, fancy and rather expensive razors and associated blade cartridges have a floppy articulating head which allows the blade cartridge to move, apparently with the design that it would contour to the jaw as the razor is moved. Well that is fine, but you can't get any force on the razor head with those systems. I bought one from Gillette (not being able to find any Trazer FX blades at the drug stores), used it once and threw it away. It did not fit my shaving lifestyle. So I searched and found the Tracer FX here and bought four packs. I hope they're still available when I run out again.

What is funny, is that the Amazon display automatically lists this product as being available either "new" or "used"!!! Anybody want to buy my used razors? Maybe I'll sell them on eBay!

My boyfriend can't seem to find these blades at the local pharmacies. He likes them because he gets a really close shave. Good thing I was able to find them on Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect two blade design, December 17, 2008
By Pulchritude "LLN" (Las Vegas, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews
Every time I find something that works well for me the company discontinues it. Well, Schick did the same for their Tracer FX blades. They are quite difficult to come by.

The design is simple and extremely effective. The blades maintain their cutting ability over long periods of use. Unlike the tri and quad blades by Schick and Gillette, the Tracer FX provides a higher rate of independent and personal dexterity. I can shape/trim my goatee; however, when using the tri and quad blades I end up butchering it and I'm forced to shave the whole thing off.

Hands down, I greatly appreciate the design and feel of the Tracer FX.

Service was fine, and the product does the job. I am not yet crazy enough to fall in love with a razor blade?!

These blades fit a razor I bought years ago and it's the best razor I've ever owned. I don't know why they no longer sell it in stores. The flexible blades do a great job and almost never knick or cut you. Great product!

These are difficult to find and my son loves them. Plus, if we were able to find them, they're cheaper through Amazon!

I have a beard and mustache and the multi-blade (i.e., greater than 2) razors do not work at all for me (I can't get right up against the edge of my beard with them). I've been stocking up on the Tracer FX blades, hoping to get enough to last a few years, since they apparently are no longer sold.

These were a welcome addition to my horde.
