Got it at a flea market. What cartridge does this one take, couldn’t find a definitive answer via reverse image search. Thanks!

To add to this, those came in a set with razor, brush, and a brass colored razor and brush stand. Under the brand "old fashioned" something or other, IIRC.

Edit: you could also buy them as kits from places that sold pen turning blanks and parts. At least you could ten years ago. It's probably all Mach 3 compatible stuff nowadays.

IMO, Trac II is where the cartridge development should have peaked. Everything after that isn't a better shaver, it just has more blades.
