Do you prefer the Trac II with LubraStrip (the white moisture stripe on top) or without Lubrastrip?
Without. Can’t stand the goo. I use the Trac II on my earlobes periodically, and it’s the least dangerous. Even compared to a Tech.

I used a Trac II "demonstrator" for a decade or so, until the little plastic tabs that secured the blade wore out. Sometimes tried the blades with the white teflon-ey strip thing (that made no difference to me). Then I used a tilting-head Atra handle with different blades for a decade, and intermittently used disposables of myriad varieties. Never used a cart that had more than 2 blades, though. They all gave identical ho-hum-but-adequate shaves. I moved to electric, then to DE razors.
I recently stumbled across the old Atra, so I bought some cheap carts for it, just for fun. I don't plan to use it any time soon, but wanted to keep it in my shave nook for nostalgia's sake (and in case the batteries die in my G2 Fat Boy).
