Taconic Shave's Twin Pivot Blade razor that accepts Gillettes's Atra blades or Personna's Pivot Plus blades is the one that you thought wasn't being made anymore! Ours has the quality that will rival any that were ever made. This is a solid metal razor that has that "heavy in the hand feel." Both beautiful and economical, this combination delivers an extremely smooth and close shave. This razor accepts any standard twin blade cartridge that is Atra compatible. (We like the Personna Pivot Plus blades, but you can purchase the ATRA blades somewhere else if you wish).
The cost of refills for this razor is much less than the 4 or 5 blade razor cartridges, yet we believe the shave is smoother due to less pull from the increased razor weight.
Razor type: Twin Pivot blade compatible - Gillette Atra, Personna Pivot Plus, etc.
Weight: 3.4 oz.
Length: 5.3 in.
Handle Material: Brushed Chrome with ridges for improved grip
**10 Personna Pivot Plus blades included
Directions to load the blade:
- Hold the dispenser so the chamber latches are at the top.
- While pressing button down, push firmly until the cartridge clicks into a locked position.
- Release button and swing the handle up to remove cartridge.

TACONIC SHAVE CHROME PIVOT ATRA COMPATIBLE RAZOR
pivot is a little to flexible. should be firmer.

Taconic Chrome Atra Razor
Good feel and weight. It took few minutes to get the hang of installing the blades, it takes a little wiggle to get them seated correctly, but then all it good to go. I used the Atra style razors years ago and was happy to find them here. I think this provides a superior shave to the new 4-5-6+ bladed razors on the market now. I would recommend this highly

Great razor for us Two blade shavers
Great razor. The handle has a great feel and heft to it. Beautiful design. I only wish it came in a polished chrome style. I refuse to shave with 4 or 5 blades, 3 is my maximum. I use Atra and Sensor style razors. I now have the Taconic in both.

Clips Need Redesign
This item has excellent price, weight, appearance, and feel in the hand. But it has two design flaws: 1. This item needs the clip shape redesigned so that the user doesn't have to fiddle for a minute or more getting the cartridge onto the handle. The original Gillette handles have the front edge of the clips rounded, so that the cartridge slips into place on the handle with just a split-second push of the handle against the cartridge, without even pushing the button, and without having to fiddle. This is important during the morning rush. 2. When wet, the handle is slippery. This might be remedied by using a slightly less-polished finish, or an acrylic coating.
