Real men dry shave with a Merkur Slant Bar, just saying.
For me the open comb Muehle R41. Closest thing out there to a Gillette New IMHO.
OK, I've decided to try the vintage route. Found two user grade Gillette Adjustable TTOs in dire need of cleaning for $11. If that fails, then I'll look at new.
I will toss out another....NEW option.
Cooncatbob's replated NEW head on a handle of your choice seems like the best of all worlds. Vintage Gillette head coupled with inpecible workmanship on a handle of your dreams.

fp, which adjustables did you purchase? Have fun with them!
After a couple of hours of cleaning, I was able to read the date codes. I am now the proud owner of a 1958 "Fat Boy" adjustable and a 1963 "Slim" adjustable. Handles are brassed but the collars and heads are shiny.
Excellent! Please post pics when you can!
I have to admit, it is a good-looking razor. But I tried the Fat Boy this AM and had the best shave since I was 17.
Congrats with your 18th birthday!!!
