I've been using a Gillette Adjustable Slim for over 15 years. It is just like the one I remember my dad using when I was a kid. Bought it used on eBay. Based on the manufacturing code on the razor, it was manufactured the same quarter of the year that I was born (3rd quarter 1966) so my razor is just as old as I am. The adjustable feature allows you to vary the blade exposure making it less likely you will cut yourself. When I first got it I purchased a sampler pack of double edge blades and settled on the Personna Red Israeli blades as my favorite. I now purchase 100 blades on eBay for under $20. 100 blades last me around 2 years. Like others have mentioned I dry my blades after each use - the water where I live is very hard. I used can shaving cream. The brush/mug/soap thing seems like too much hassle to me.
