Traveling question

[JPM]

I am headed out on a one day business trip and am only taking carry on luggage. I know this is blasphemy, but I'm not going to take a DE and then look for blades in a new city, so I went to the drug store looking for a Trac II. I could find cartridges but no handles. Anybody know where to get a handle, or do they not make them anymore?

I am probably going to be traveling a bit more on one or two day trips and would like to get a Trac II for this purpose because I generally don't check bags.

How about the Sensor series? I was planning on buying one myself.

Honest answer: Get a SE razor. They sell quality blades at every CVS for about $3. Sure you will only use one and toss it, but isn't that better than spending $15-$20each way to check a bag? I know it's my new plan for when I fly home (college student)

you can find them on ebay.
I think the next best if that's not an option would be a Sensor. That's still available at places like WalMart, Walgreens, etc.

Go to Wal-Mart and get the Bump Figther Handle, it can load the the Trac II carts.

The Bump Fighter Razor is a very nice Trac II handle. Sold at Walmart and other drug type stores.

If he gets an Atra 2 handle off Ebay, buys a 10 pack of blades at Walmart for $14 and takes the blades with him it would be a lot less than the $3 per trip

Thanks for the Bump Fighter handle suggestions, gents. That's what I'm going with. I am not a cartridge fan, but I prefer the TRAC II if I have to use them.

Thanks for all the other quick responses.
