    Default WANTED: old Schick flexible razor handle (performer/tracer/diamond fx)




    G'day!!!

    Yep - weird request, but I dropped my razor and broke the little bit that holds in the blades, and I've got heaps of new spare blades, but now no handle

    I've used them all - mach3, sensor, quatro etc etc etc, but decided to stick with my old twin blade.

    It's an old late 90's razor (used flexible (FX) blades).

    Looks like this……(or similar design at the tip)


    Anyone have a collection of handles in the bathroom drawer and maybe have one of these??

    Aparently it is compatible with Schick Tracer and Schick Tracer Sport etc

    Seems a shame to chuck the blades!!

    Anyone got one gathering dust??

    (I'm in Melb, but happy to pay post if you're not!)


    CHEERS!

    Same here - I'm still using the Schick FX stuff from the early 1990s. Pretty sure I started using them in 1992.

    Haven't seen the razor handles or blades on retail shelves for years.

    I've got one or two new handles in packets that I haven't opened. I'll be keeping them for now.

    Enough reminiscing about razor blades. Solution time. Check eBay (Aus, US, UK, Canada, etc) - that's how I've been buying blades over the last 10 years.

    Amazon:


    eBay:












    Schick (or Wilkinson) Tracer, Tracer FX, FX Diamond, FX Performer - Some countries have the Wilkinson brand instead of Schick (both companies are now owned by Energizer), and also use the name "FX Performer".#All of these razors use the same kind of blade, which also uses the same names as the razor. (There are differences between the blades with different names, but all of them fit all of these razors.) The blades attach at two points, and pivot slightly. The main feature is that the blade is flexible and bends inward to follow#the curves of your skin.

    Thanks for the comprehensive reply Phildo!!

    I checked out Ebay, but only AU….didn't realise that there was so much stuff out there as it has been years and years since I saw it on the shelf too!

    CHEERS!!

    Hey Phildo - just checked the links you sent me, but most have ridiculous prices for the postage (US$ 46.00 for a few of them!)

    Would you consider trading a new handle for some new, unopened blades? I have quite a few packs (5 packs of FX performer blades) …..

    CHEERS!

    sounds like you do what I do and buy up big on blades when they're running out. I had so many packets of handles with only 3 blades with them I used them like disposibles!

    Sorry, shitty picture I think it was the old FX Performer handle, the label is gone but I'm sure it's the handle you are after.

    I bought a bunch of blades last year (2014).

    The previous time was 2006.

    Yep, bought 'em in bulk. Rather cheaply.

    Loving eBay for that one.

    Awesome!

    yes, I bought up big on the blades because I got sick of a good one coming out, then they disappear! haha

    Will send PM Al Bundy

    It looks a bit different to mine, but I think the idea is the same….will repost if not a match.

    Thankyou to all for your replies and help !!!!!

    Now if only they can make a good razor AND STICK TO IT!
