A Gillette Trac II adjustable?

[Den]

Found this while surfing the bay.

Adjustable Trac II

Never knew this existed. Adjustable cart razors....figured we were a few years from that still.

Wow thats really neat! I wonder how it performs. I guess these didn't last very long. How much did you get for? I doubt you payed $0.59 for it haha

I remember watching a youtube advertisement on the Gillette Trac II. They were demonstrating the aggressive nature on the cart itself.

watch the last bit of this advertisement:

I never bought it, just ran across it while looking at razors on the bay. I was tempted though, but then told myself that I'd probably end up liking it and won't be able to find replacement carts. I think I'm better off just sticking with the plain vanilla Trac II.

Whoa, Nelly! I 'member those! They were hot for five minutes and then vanished.

Nice bit of nostalgia, that!

The Schick Super II also had L-M-H adjustable blades at the same time period. I don't know which company was first, but they only lasted for a few years. By seeing that Gillette was selling both, my guess is that Schick was the originator and Gillette the copycat....

It's clear how much money they spend on advertising when you watch the video Sledgehammer posted above.

It's better than any commercial coming out these days

It looked cool so I went ahead and placed a bid on it and won. I probably won't use the adjustable cartridge but I want to give the handle a try with the Wilkinson Sword Twin II Plus cartridges.

I wonder when the adjustability comes to 5-blade Gillettes, LO-MED-HI...

I mean, it has got batteries, it has got the lubra strip, it has got rubber straighteners...

You kinda feels something is missing in that equation, don't you?
