Gillette Trac II Plus Shaving Cartridges, 10-Count Packages (Pack of 2)

 (13 customer reviews)

In my opinion, this is the greatest razor blade ever made by Gillette and the best value for its efficiency. You see, I hate using shaving cream, because it is messy and I am lazy. This is the only razor blade with which I can shave without using any shaving cream (that is why I prefer the one with lubricating strip). Any other razor blades, made by either Gilette or other companies, including the expensive ones like MACH III, will simply cut me. Then Gillette stopped making them, with no reason whatsoever, probably it worked too well, like the light bulb that will last 100 years. I complained to their customer service with no avail (they are really not a very customer responsive company) My friend was smart, he bought a whole bunch from K-Mart when they went out of business. I used to be able to buy them in local flea markets but lately they all but disappeared. Therefore, I am simply grateful for Amazon.com to be able to make them available.

The TracII debuted in 1971 and was the first 2 blade razor. I've been using the Trac II since I started shaving, about 30 or so years ago. I've used every other razor there is--and there are other razors that do shave a little closer--but not for the cost of the Trac II. That's why it still exists after 40 years.

I've also tried imitations of the TracII (Personna, Walgreens, etc.), but none measure up. They tend to pull more and are not as smooth. But some seem to work for some people and they may work for you and could save you money. You just have to try them.

If you want to avoid the 3, 4 or 5 blade nonsense that exists today, get these. I'm glad that they are still available here.
