Anyone know where genuine Schick and Gillette Trac-II handles are still sold?
(I have ordered a Gillette GII Razor and will review it, after I try it out. Gillette GII Razor (Same as Gillette TRAC II))
I am going to keep my "Conk" handle, although IMHO it is not worth the $17 price plus $10 shipping. This Conk Trac-II razor handle is a very crude design, inferior to my 25 year old Schick brand handle. As I explain later, this Conk handle has some appeal, as an example of industrial design gone wrong... a very attractive form, but terribly awkward function.
To hold the plastic razor cartridge, this Conk handle has a slightly oversized, solid, cast metal rail, instead of a correctly sized, formed sheet metal rail, with detent spring, as on my old Schick handle. The Conk's solid rail makes it more difficult to rinse the installed cartridge, in contrast to the old open rail design. Additionally, the Conk's oversized rail makes installing and removing the razor cartridge rather difficult. It's a very tight fit, and requires a great deal of force. Unlike the old design, there is a small but significant chance of accidentally cutting oneself on the blades, or by breaking either the plastic cartridge or its plastic carry case.
The Conk's polished chrome handle looks nice, but makes shaving difficult. When wet, the Conk's handle is very slippery. I will probably cover that shiny Conk handle with friction tape, which will look ugly but make this Conk handle more usable.
And there's another reason for friction tape. The Conk's heavy, curved handle gives it the amazing inclination to slide off the counter, and into the sink, or onto the floor. I thought I was simply tired and clumsy one morning, but no, my old Schick will stay wherever I put it, because it has an ugly plastic handle, straight as a ruler, and covered with ridges, for a secure grip. This Conk handle needs a special resting place, or it will run off! There is something about the vaguely parabolic curve of the Conk handle, combined with the heavy teardrop end, that makes this Conk handle slide off the place that I usually rest my razor. It's amazing. Where the Schick handle will rest, all day long, the Conk will stay put for ten or twenty seconds, and then slowly start to slide, wobble, and then hop across the counter. The obvious fix, of course, is to park this Conk handle in a different place. It's just some very strange and entertaining behavior, for an inanimate object. I am saving this Conk handle as an example of industrial design, gone wrong. It's very attractive and appealing to the eye, but in the hand, feels awkward and clumsy.
Why did I purchase this Conk? My 25 year old Schick handle is wearing out. The detent spring is growing weaker, and might break off altogether. Trac-II razor handles are no longer available in brick and mortar retailers, although retailers still stock the plastic razor cartridges.
Anyone know where genuine Schick and Gillette handles are still sold? Everyone, including those "walkin' walmartians" told me to "...try the local, mom and pop stores, that keep the leftovers, of the obsolete stuff." Perhaps, there is still a place for Mom and Pop retailers, despite Walmart!"
