Hey, I have come across a great looking razor that uses a TRAC II cartridge. There are several options. I'm thinking of buying the Personna TWIN II Plus Cartridges. Anyone have advise on the best brand?
Tim, I use a Trac II occasionally when I travel. The Personna blades work well for me. I haven't tried any others.
Yes, the Personnas are good. But not as good as some of the vintage cartridges (but that's the same with DE blades really).
I prefer my Atra to a Trac II. I use Dorco Comfort Thin II in it, but they are not compatible with the Trac II handle.
I think the Personna carts are as good as any around today or back when. The biggest difference vintage to now was the addition of a useless lube strip. I tried the Dorco Comfort Twin but it's way too light for my taste, the twin carts are good as are most Dorco products but I never tried them with an Atra handle, don't have one.
When I used the Trac 2 I preferred a non-lube strip blade (hard to find). I found some Gillette T-2 blades at "Razors Direct". They also had Personna T-2 blades too.
Dorco's T-II compatibles are about all I use. I think they're a buck seventy-five now at Dollar General. I've done side-by-side with new Gillette T-IIs and the difference was negligible, but vintage are better. +1 on the Dorco Comfort Thin II. Atra-type but excellent for the price.
