Lord Premium Plus Twin Blade Razor with pivoting Head and 1 blade

I bought this because it was advertised as compatible with the Gillette Atra, and I had been shaving with the Dorco Comfort Thin II razors, which were discontinued (ugh, such betrayal, I hate Dorco for discontinuing these) and those were advertised as Atra-compatible. I wanted a new shaving system that was cheap, high-quality, and used only 2-blade cartridges. This handle took a little getting used to, but once I got accustomed to it I absolutely love it. The angle is just right for allowing me to hold the handle slightly away from my face, which I found is ideal. It is somewhat different from Dorco's handle (which you need to hold closer to your face) and Gillette handles (which are perhaps somewhat in-between.) When I first started using it I had to overcome my muscle memory of the old angle I had been holding it at, and figure out the best one for this one, but in the end the way this handle works is much more comfortable. I think it is a better-designed product. I got a few small cuts during the adjustment period, but have been shaving for days without even a tiny nick now that I've figured it out. It took me less than 2 weeks to get used to this new handle. I have been using this with the Personna Twin Pivot Plus Cartridges, and they fit perfectly. I highly recommend them and recommend the combination of those cartridges with this handle. They pivot well, there is a good range of pivoting. Interestingly, this handle doesn't fit the Dorco cartridges, but that's okay, I only had a few of them left and I am moving away from that shaving system anyway. This handle feels well-made and solid. There is an anti-slip grip and it's easy to hold, and it's easy to clean. Time will tell how it holds up, but so far I am impressed. I have been using it for about a month. The combination of this handle and the Personna blades are gonna save me a ton of money in the long-run. I have been very happy with the quality of the shaves I've been getting, which is a testimony both to the handle and the blades. Highly recommended! Read more

It is a little light. I don't really mind. Works with atra compatible blades, no problem putting the on. I really like the fact that the entire underside is flat, easy to tell which way it's facing when shaving blind in the shower. Read more

This is an Okay razor, not as Good as my old Sensor! All the new razors seem to be multiple blade style, which make them Very bulky to shave around beard edges. This one has nicked me several times, and the blades are very difficult to change? Read more

Great for the price Read more

I’ve been using Atra razors in one form or another for 40+ years, and the only thing I can say is this thing is absolute junk. Would barely hold the cartridge, and when it did, it came off on the first stroke. I kept trying to make it work, and ended up with cuts on my face for my trouble. Straight to the trash. Junk... Amazon sells another Atra model which is twice as expensive and three times as heavy, but it works great! I left mine in a hotel room and I wish I had just bought another one but instead tried to replace it with this cheaper model. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!! Read more

Expected a heavier razor made of metal. Instead got a lightweight plastic razor made mostly of plastic. Made in Egypt. It works, but hardly worth the 12.50 price tag. Read more

works really well. i still don't see why anyone needs more than two blades Read more

Arrived quickly and works with Atra razors as promised. The handle is a little on the light side, but does the trick. Read more
