Lol'd. :) It is the 'Original' cartridge razor though? :) While you won't find one of the 3 or 5 blade headed monsters in my den, I do like the original dual blade Trac II. it's what i began shaving with as a teen lad in 1978. It's a nostalgia thing... :)

I actually tried to post a pic, but it wouldn't let me.

Is the Trac II the one with the fixed head and the black handle? I got one of those as a Christmas present in about the same year, but I never really liked it, I preferred the black handle Gillette DE adjustable I was already using...

You have to upload the picture to a third party image host (like imgur.com) and then add the link in your post.

P&C is totally free (@Monsta_AU pays all the bills) - we don't take any "sponsorship" money nor does the site belong to any vendors. So everything that is said on these boards is un-biased. But we have to try and keep the costs low and therefore don't have any image/video hosting.

Hope this makes sense...

Pre-shave: Hot water, Pears soap
Brush: CaYuen "Copper Ore", 30mm AP Shave Co SynBad
Soap/Cream: Czech & Speake - Oxford & Cambridge
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Kai PINK
Post-shave: Shower, Homebrew moisturiser, La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50+

Let it not be said that I don't know where my towel is. ;)

Just passes as a DFS today, this blade is past its best (5 or 6 shaves? lost track...) which I guess for head and face is a lot of mileage.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Rooney 1/3 Super Silvertip Badger
Cream: Geo. F Trumper Spanish Leather
Razor: Merkur Mergress (2.5)
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Swede (1)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Pitralon Classic
Scent: Geo. F Trumper Spanish Leather EdT

A very comfortable and close shave. The Trumper cream is luxurious, and such a great scent.
And the vintage Swede blade is very sharp - with the lightest of touches, it erases bristles as if they are not there.
To cap it off, the warm cedar scent of the Pitralon aftershave was a great match for the Spanish Leather fragrance.

Keep pushing the Gillette Stainless as far as you can reach, before it’s starts loosing the edge and you’ll be totally amazed at the total number of shaves per blade.
