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.
