Quick Take

A solid metal, brushed chrome razor designed for standard Atra-compatible twin blade cartridges. At 3.4 oz. and 5.3 inches long, it provides a substantial feel in the hand and is compatible with cartridge options including Gillette Atra and Personna Pivot Plus.

Atra Compatible Twin Blade System

This Taconic razor uses the twin-blade pivot cartridge format and accepts standard Atra-compatible cartridges. Taconic specifically identifies Gillette Atra and Personna Pivot Plus as compatible blade options.

The pivoting cartridge design allows users who prefer this established twin-blade format to continue using readily replaceable compatible cartridges rather than moving to a four- or five-blade cartridge system.

Solid Metal Construction

Taconic describes this as a solid metal razor with a substantial feel in the hand. At 3.4 oz., the razor provides considerably more weight than a lightweight disposable-style handle and is designed to let that weight contribute to the shaving experience.

Brushed Chrome Handle

The 5.3-inch handle features a brushed chrome finish with ridges incorporated for improved grip. The combination gives the razor a clean, classic appearance while providing additional texture where the razor is held.
