The razor looks like it may take a Gillette Track II blade.

It looks like it takes ordinary Gillette Trac II cartridges. It probably dates from the 1980s or 1990s.

Yes, those should work. There was a market for upscale handles that would take the Trac II cartridges because the Gillette handles were pretty cheap looking.

Any idea of value for the set? The handle and the stand together.

Valuation is forbidden on this site. It's recent mass production, so not very much.

Understandable for the valuation, didn't realize. Originally Posted by sqzbxr

The Trac II was introduced in 1971, and looking at the casting lines inside the base of the stand it appears to be die cast - most likely of zinc based pot metal. The head area that the cartridge slides on to appears to be rough cast and not polished. Not a high market item.

The bad news is that it doesn't really have any collectable value, as it is s modern mass-produced cartridge razor.
The good news is that replacement cartridges are still readily available! And I mean excessively available, considering when it was introduced. I'm fairly certain that I've seen packs of Trac II cartridges in the shaving products aisle of every supermarket & pharmacy that I've been in. So, there's no need to buy a whole case of cartridges through the internet.Decades away from full-beard growing abilities.
