Arrived on time today and shaved today with my first one, Great Blade! These cost about $0.15 per blade which is D/E blade cost so for any cart on the market this is very, very inexpensive. All were well made, in good shape, and look brand new. The shave was as good as any I have gotten from Gillette Trac II, smooth, close, no nicks or cuts and no irritation. At this price if I get 4-or-more shaves I'm happy, but I expect to get about 6 - 7 shaves. If I only get four shaves per blade I have enough carts for a year. That's almost Uncle McScrooge good:) I've loved the trac II type razor since 1974 and am very happy with this purchase! No pack, just in an envelope wrapped in some magazine ad paper and held together with rubber bands and if that keeps the cost down I'm cool. The plastic cart dispensers are brand new looking and in good shape. I put my first one on a Col. Conk gold tone trac II handle and it fit great so I know it'll fit my Gillette, Schick and no-name Trac II handle. Shaved with the grain and then wet my face, applied some Poraso pre-shave and did some quick touch up for a BBS shave and again: No nicks, cuts or razor burn. Fast shaving and smooth. Also, I wrote Personna and asked about their twin pivot plus blades and received a response that basically said they have no plans to stop making these blades as they are one of their biggest selling blades world wide, based on sales records they sell as many of these blades in the U.S. now as they did at the peak of the twin blade era. That tells me that a majority of men in America are still using the venerable twin blade cart and will for the foreseeable future. That tells me these twin blade carts will be with us for a few years to come (also, Dorco has brought back their twin cart razor due to popular demand.) as there seems to be a resurgence in it's popularity. You won't be disappointed by this blade and the seller comes through quickly. Read more
I have had a TRAC 2 razor for decades. Trac 2 blades are hard to find, and I did not want to go on a search for another razor, especially because you almost need a Swiss bank account or financing; so thought for the price I would give them a try. Did not know that they could also be used on Personna razors, which did not matter to me,, but was interesting to know: as they were advertised to fit TRAC 2, I use to find them in flea markets cheap but when prices went up they would put an updated sticker on they old package . Then found them in the Military Base exchange 10 blades per pkg, @ $2.10 but as of last year do not carry them any more. These blades fit perfectly, I am using the second blade since 12 April. I changed out the first blade by habit and not sure if it was dull enough to change. They give a nice close shave and I am impressed with them. I also provided a blade to a friend to try and the web site to order should he be satisfied with these blades. Did not mean to go on so long but wanted to give an insight as to how rare the TRAC 2 blades are becoming. So I would recommend these blades at an excellent price to anyone needing these Personna/or Trac 2 of blades, Thanks for the great deal. Chris Read more
Bought the twin-pivot razor for these blades on Amazon in 2016. If you don't have an exceptionally thick beard, this will do the job. Forget all those fancy triple, quadruple blade razors in the store, overhyped and overpriced. Get a durable twin-pivot razor on Amazon and these inexpensive blades. I have saved many $$$ by doing this. Read more
These are pretty good replacements for genuine Atra blades, which I've used for very many years. They're nice and sharp to begin with, but they don't hold an edge as long as genuine Atra cartridges. I saw one reviewer below who said he uses his for 7 days. If I tried that, I'd look like I shaved with a chainsaw! I'd say 4 to possibly 5 days are the real useful service life. Still, at half the price of OEM blades, they're still a decent deal. I'll likely buy them again when these 100 run out. Read more

Second time ordering these. They fit my 40 year old Gillette Trac II handle. Use them multiple times between blade changes. Read more
I recently purchased the 100 Personna Twin Pivot Plus Blades for my Trac2 razor. Here are my thoughts: Pros: Affordable: For the price, you're getting a considerable number of blades. Compatibility: These blades fit onto my Trac2 razor without any issues. Cons: Durability: While the initial shave was satisfactory, I noticed that the blades dulled relatively quickly compared to some other brands I've tried. This meant I had to replace them more frequently than I would have liked. I shave my face daily and am also a bald so I shave my head 3 times a week. the quality varies so much that occasionally, a blade barely makes it through one head shaving. Other times I can get two head shavings out of one blade. If I compare this to my local grocery stores name brand razors I can get 2 weeks out of one blade consistently. Precision: I found that these blades lacked the precision I expected, especially around tricky areas like the jawline and under the nose and the crown of my head. This led to more time spent on touch-ups. A couple times, I needed to swap out the blade mid-shave for a fresh blade because the quality varies so much from blade to blade. Overall, these Personna blades are below average for everyday shaving and they don't quite reach the level of quality and longevity that I was hoping for. If you're on a budget and don't mind replacing blades often, these might be worth considering. However, if you're looking for a more durable and precise shave, you may want to explore other options.
