So I guess I'm in the cart club now?

The in laws gave me some free gear today.









So I suppose I have to shave with that old Spice handle... The solid brass is pretty awesome in hand.

 

That does look very nice indeed

 

I lost out on getting one of those at an estate sale.

 

I'm a terrible cartridge member myself.
I have this 'lil beauty...but have never used it....

 

I don't see where there is any harm in breaking out the cart razor occasionally.
For me, it would serve as a reminder of what led me to wet shaving.
Receiving such a gift from your in-laws is very nice.
In all the years I've been married, I've received only one gift from my mine.

It was a length of new hemp rope with a noose fashioned at one end.

(The brush is cool! )

 

I have been seeing that stand on the bay. I'm wondering if the notch that is holding the cart razor will hold a DE razor? Or perhaps another brush. Love Old Spice stuff, mostly because I'm a retired Sailor.

 

Sorry to hear that Dap. I think you would have liked it.

 

Best cart setup you can use. You may find yourself surprised by how well it does.

 

I do too....

 

I can check for you a little later!

 

I know I read that in here, sorry man!

 

I know, I was very surprised and happy at the gift. They were using as a display in the bathroom. When they found out I was collecting all things razors they gave it to me.

I love that old spice handle, it's wonderful.

 

That is very . Trac IIs are still a pretty good razor.

 

I've seen them on the bay, I wouldn't mine picking up a nice set like yours. Good stuff!

 

Outstanding gift! The Trac II is an outstanding razor. The brush may or may not work with the original knot. I have two Old Spice brushes, one shed like crazy every time I tried to use it while the other one works great and never sheds.

 

Yeah unfortunately the original knot is shedding badly. So I'll try to reknot it with boar

 

Too bad that the base doesn't have a spot to fit an Old Spice Mug, then that'd be even more awesome.

 

and a built-in squirt bottle that could pump out OS lotion!

 

Nice Old Spice handle...I actually used a store brand Trac2 cart with a Bump Fighter handle this morning for a quick shave. Doing my normal preshave it a gave me a pretty good shave. Not quite as good as my normal DE shave, but a little bit quicker, maybe DFS-, but with no irritation, which surprised me.
I bet if you could get a Trac2 shave head that could be screwed on to a DE handle, like say a Weber BullDog handle or Fat Handle Tech, then put a Trac2 cart on it, it would give a stellar shave with a decent preshave prep.

Has anyone ever heard of an after market Trac2 head that will fit a DE handle?
