Taconic ShaveHeavyweight All Metal Non-Pivoting Twin Blade Cartridge Razor Compatible with GIllette Trac II, Personna, and Taconic Refills - 10 Cartridges Included

It arrived one day earlier than scheduled. I'm very happy with it, Thank you.

Top quality. Nice weight for smooth shave action. Glad to have it.

I have been looking for a handle to not replace the old but so I could have one in two locations.I community from one end of the stat to the other so I prefer not to carry all these stuff every two weeks but leave a set in both locations.This handle for the price is an amazing value, good weight, balance slightly off but I adjusted quickly, some minor groves in the smooth surface or pebbling would allow for better grip when hands are soapy or have residue cream on them.On the other hand I like the smooth finish polished look they way my face should be when I am complete with the shaving process smooth and clean.I love the look and I love the weight of the handle and they were nice enough to include enough free blades to make it usable out of the box.Nice handle, worth the purchase price, last a life time.

I bought this thinking it would be a great handle. It dropped out of my hand several times because it is hard to grasp. I broken my porceline shink that cost me $299.00 to replace. Beer beware.

Once the drug store brands hiked their prices through the roof, I stopped shaving much, and switched to a rotary electric. Most of the times when I used it, I craved the closeness of a proper blade shave, but I wasn't about to pay three and a half bucks (or more) per cartridge. (I remember the store price being north of a half-sawbuck per cartridge.) No. Not going to.So, last year, a friend was discussing shaving and I groused about the price of the fast triple-blade razors. They suggested one of the shave clubs on the 'net, saying that the blades were good, and I looked, but the price was still horrendous. Then I wondered to myself "What does Amazon have to offer?" My usual triple blades ran from a buck and a half to a little over three per cartridge - nope. Racking my brain, I was able to remember "Trac II" (I traded my safety razor for Trac II), looked on Amazon for that, and found these blades and a selection of handles. The price on the blades seems too good to be true, but they are good blades. The price of the handle is dear, but you're going to use it to hold a razor-sharp blade to your throat before you've had coffee. It's not the time to cheap out. After seven weeks, you've paid for the handle, so after that, you're saving money.After having used this handle with them for a couple of months, I can say that it's well-manufactured, fits in my hand well, and hasn't given me a single problem. The blades slide on (snugly) and slide back off with some effort.

Handle is nice and heavy, balanced. I forgot how much a Trac II blade nicks and cuts though.

I have used a trac 2 razor for 55 years, and have had trouble finding trac2 blades the last couple of years. I saw this razor, and decided to try it out, and I am very glad I did. I have shaved with this razor with the same blade for 6 times now, and the blades are still very sharp with an excellent shave. The other razor was only lasting two, maybe three shaves, then change the blade. Trac 2 blades are redicuously expensive, and they seem to have changed their metal composition in their blades as they use to last longer, but now are crap. This razor is well made, and the company has a new customer for as long as I remain vertical. Thank you for making a QUALITY product, with value for the price.

When I was a young man, my dad gave me a razor handle from England that he didn't want. At first I just kept it and used an electric for many years, using the razor when I needed a close shave. As I got older and the electric wasn't cutting it, I tried different razors (triple blades, dual blades, even once tried a folding razor). In the end, nothing seemed to work as well as that old razor from England. The triple blades were okay - just expensive, so I switched back to twins again. As the handle got rattier and rattier, I looked for a replacement and tried other blade handles. No joy. The old razor was just heavy, weighted low on the handle, thin necked, and when grasped at the base; ran smoothly and steady across my face. For whatever reason, a symmetric or lighter handle will cause cuts and nicks. When I saw this one, I had to give it a shot - and very glad I did. Tried it and it seems just as good as my old ratty handle. I'm typing this because I'm buying my *second one* (as a backup in case I ever lose my new replacement). And no.. I didn't get squat for writing this.. And yes, I paid full price.. And yes, I am an opinionated, cranky old guy who isn't afraid to speak his mind. If this sucked, I'd say so.
