in the end , I went to the Dollar General website and I got 18 x 6 blades just for $27 , free shipping too and 5$ less with a code , anyway I hope those Dorco blades are any good , if not I may have to find another type of blade

quick question , the description "atra" will it fit trac too ?

 

[n2hql]

These won't fit a trac 2 . I have several old twin blade packs from years ago, and the ones that say "fit Atra" don't have the tracks for trac 2 handles, but the pivot pickups for ATRA.

My Walmart still carries the Wilkinson Twin-II's.

i did some research before I got it from Dollar General

"I gave the Dollar General Twin Blade cartridges a shot last month and found them to be quite nice in an Atra handle. They also fit Trac II handles. They are made by Dorco in Korea, with a six-pack priced at $1.29. Not bad"

can someone else confirm this ?

 

[Eeyore]

If you're looking for cartridges that fit the Trac II handle, please disregard my PM ... my Wilkinson Sword carts are Atra only.

The only Trac II compatible carts that I can get locally are the Personnas.

Where do you get yours? I get my "Trac" carts from Hema. These might very well be from Personna considering their DE blades are from Personna as well.

Kruidvat. But now that I think of it ... they may actually be Dorcos instead of Personnas.

IMO if you cant find an exact fit..try the Gillette Guard blade n razor..handle is $2..blades are $.25 a piece...also on ebay

 

[JerYnkFan]

They also sell them on Walmart.com. CVS also carries Trac II carts. You can also try Ebay. In NJ there are a billion Walmarts so if my local one doesn't have them, I can find them at one of the others.

Hello SPG,

Welcome to B&B.

I don't know where you are located but you can check Walmart store stock levels by city, zip code, etc. online:

Wilkinson Sword Twin II Plus Cartridges, 10 count

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Mike

[SirPaulGerman]

too late now , I just placed an online order to dollar general

those are the one I got , any experience with those blades ? also will it fit a trac 2 , I know the personnas will because they fit trac and atra at the same time

 

[JDTTO]

Kruidvat. But now that I think of it ... they may actually be Dorcos instead of Personnas.

Ok, thanks. I believe Kruidvat is quite a lot more expensive than Hema. You might want to check Hema out. I think I paid 3,10 for a pack of 10 recently.
Unfortunately, there is no clue on the package to the manufacturer or country of origin. I find them quite good but I have no other carts to compare them with.

The are for both slide-in and pivot handles.

SirPaul, Sorry for the thread hijack!

Check Ebay.
