I'm trying to find a decent cartridge razor for airline carry-on travel, and it's not easy. I have not used cartridge razors in probably 15 or 20 years. They feel and shave like toys to me now.

I no longer check luggage on airlines. I only travel with carry-on. So I can't take any bladed razors. No DE, no Injector, no Straight (obviously). That leaves cartridge razors or disposables. Of the two, I will choose cartridge.

I inherited my late Uncle's Trac II set, his Schick Protector set, and I tried the Gilette Vector that takes the Astra cartridge blades. No thanks. They all yielded me very poor uncomfortable shaves with soap and mirror wet shaving. At least the Trac II had no cheaply made plastic "Give" that seemed to bend the cartridge when shaving because the frame slides onto the razor handle and is held tightly.

I suppose if I just started shaving in the shower again, they might work OK for me, but I'm looking for a decent cartridge that I can use for wet shaving in the hotel bathroom in front of the mirror. The cartridges I've tried seem harsh and poorly made, but that's why we are wet shavers using real bladed razors I suppose.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
