So in 2000 I was a member . I bought a Gillette adjustable not sure which one I think it was the slim . I lost it like a year ago So I decided to buy another adjustable . Just not sure which adjustable I should get of course i want a used one(new ones are to expensive) . The razor I'm using right now is a Gillette with a silver head and black handle , the shave is not as good as the adjustable .
Newb trying to figure out what adjustable de to buy ?

Welcome to B&B. You might want to check out the bst forum here to see if anyone has something for sale.
Welcome back. There are great vintage options, such as another slim. However, there was a fairly recent post about a clone of the Merkur future clones, Ming Shi 2000s and one other (can't remember the name). It was extremely cheap but had good reviews.

I have been looking on bst. Nothing as of now I'll keep checking thanks . I'll look into those Ming shi . Switched to de cause the new razors burn my face and plus there way to expensive ! I can shave for a year with what it cost for two months of those cartridges !
Welcome back. Keep looking for a slim or a black beauty adjustable (super adjustable).
The other brand was Qshave, and they cost under $10 shipped from aliexpress.com.
Slims can be found in good condition at reasonable prices.

Ming shi or the qshave which is better? they both look nice . And at a good price . So ull recommend going with one of those or a Gillette adjustable instead ?
It's really, in my opinion, budget dependent. I really like my Gillette Fatboy, but it was a gift. It is plated brass that will last my lifetime. However, if I were looking to get another adjustable, I would likely go with one of the two clones you are considering, simply because disposable funds are limited with kids in college.

Gillette Super Adjustable long or short handle.......

I only have two DE razors... both gold plated. An adjustable Executive and an adjustable Aristocrat. Both are excellent and both glide over my face better than their non goldplated twins, the Fatboy and the Slim. Or maybe I just like gold, and it is all in my head. But really, I think any Gillette adjustable is just the bee's knees.
Welcome back! Personally, I would start with another slim (great shaver IME)!
I also suggest the Slim or Fatboy
Welcome. You cannot go wrong with a Gillette slim adjustable. Fatboys have got very expensive.
Hi, welcome to B&B
I recommend the Mingshi 2000S Adjustable
I liked the performance so much that I decided to sell my Ideal and Wizamet W-11 Adjustables on eBay

Hello and welcome. Great to have you here. Wander on over to the Hall of Fame and introduce yourself more fully.
Get another Slim. Best adjustable bang for the buck, IMHO.

Yeap I also have to go with the consensus and vote for the Slim. Easiest shave I've ever gotten.
