Best razor for Personna Twin Pivot Plus? Looking for more range of motion.

[ErkRusselReserve]

Hello!

I picked up the 100 pack of Personna Twin Pivot Plus carts on a whim. I also have the Gillette Vector razor from India. However, the carts are Trac II and Atra compatible, so they are not ideal for the Vector. The Trac II slide parts jut out and hit the razor limiting their range of motion. Thus they end up a hybrid of Trac II and Atra.

Are their any razors that fit the Personnas better? The DSC Humble Twin looks ok, there seems to be more of a gap, but I do not have one on hand. Someone on Amazon complained about the compatibility with the Personna carts as well.

Great question! I hope some folks with experience jump in & offer their thoughts.

I would just get a NOS Schick Super II from ebay.

Agree, have you considered using them with a non-pivoting Trac II type handle? Cheapest option may be a Gillette PII handle from India on Ebay.

Schick Ultra Plus X from Japan gives a full range of motion. Cool handle too!

Schick Ultra Plus X with the Personna carts is a pretty nice shave. One cannot really do the Gillette Slide however, striaght strokes and the J Hook are fine though.
It may be that the Gillette Vector, Schick Ultra Plus X, and Wilkinson Sword WII are better carts, but they are a buck a pop and the Personnas are $0.13 a piece shipped!
