Schick Tracer FX Refill Cartridges , 5 refill Cartridges

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.

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