New guy here, wanting to chime in. About three or four months ago I purchased the Parker Trac ii aftermarket handle and some Personna Twin Pivot blades. After a rough first try, I've found this set up works great for me with three passes. I get as good a shave as I ever did with my Fusion Proglide.
I get not wanting a Gillette product, but as the blades and handle are not actually Gillette, I would think this would count as non-Gillette.
As far as the blades clogging, I don't have that problem per se, however I find alot of product collects if you use a shaving soap or canned foam. My solution to this was to use Cremo. A nice thin layer of super-slick goodness that smells like fresh orange blossoms. The blades stay clear and the shave is fantastic.
