They use Atra blades, you can get them at drugstores.
I've used my Atra for over 15 years. Maybe longer. Over the years, I've tried just about every "generic" brand you could buy for them, because the regular Gillette blades are expensive (at least, to me). For the past 5 years or so, I've found that the Personna brand at Wal-Mart to be the best "generic" I've found so far for the Atra. It has the lube strips, I've never liked them, but at least they don't get all goopy like the Gillette lube strips do. The Personnas are around $3 for a 10 pack.
I also have a Mach 3 and a Fusion (both were sent to me for free). I've also used the Mach 3 on and off (using it now) and it gives very good results. The Fusion is fine too (the freebie included one cartrige) but I doubt very much I'll be buying any Fusion blades soon ($15 for 4?!?!).
The Mach 3 is expensive enough ($8 for 4).
