I picked up this Atra razor on Ebay. It has what appears to be a hard rubber handle on it. I've not seen one like this before. Does anyone know anything about the production of this kind of handle?

Also, the head placement wiggles a little in the handle. I'd like to make it a little more solid. Does anyone have a suggestion? I suppose some epoxy would do the trick but if anyone has any other ideas I'd be happy to know what they are. There's no way I can see to get the head out of the handle. Other than that the razor is in great shape. It has a nice weight and it works perfectly. I can't wait to try it out tomorrow.

Epoxy should work. You could probably draw along the seam with a crayon to discourage whatever epoxy or glue you use from sticking where you don't want it.
