Gillette Slim
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Highly suggest a gillette slim for a vintage razor.
- Parent context: I am as much of a fan of Slims as I am Fatboys and own several of each. Could tell why they’re so sought after and highly regarded straight after my first shave with a Slim. Reply: Yep. They're glorious. I have a few slim...
- I have a Henson Medium and a Black Beauty (and a Slim) and I use the Henson more often.
- My Fat Boy and Slim deliver much better shaves than either of the Hensons and I love holding a bit of history in my hand.
- Gillette slim is great, just be sure to clean and lubricate
Cons
- But I do not think the Slim covered things like either of those.
- They either mean adjustables (like Gillette Slim or Merkur Progress)
- I also have a Gillette slim, two techs, Edwin Jagger DE89 and tried the Blackland Blackbird Ti.
- Try a Gillette adjustable (Fatboy, Slim, 109, or 84).
- I've seen plenty of positive revews of the Slim, but I've also seen people saying that it doesn't really measure up to modern razors, which makes me hesitant to pull the trigger.

Reply: Yep. They're glorious. I have a few slims that I've had replated and restored by BackRoadsGold and they're just simply ridiculously great razors.

Great set up, love the Gillette Slim, in reality you don’t need anything else!lol!
I enjoy my Gillette Slim with some Taylor’s of Old Bond Street.
I've been buying the worst, ugliest, dirtiest Slims I can find for $20 and under and they just keep coming out amazing with a jeweler's polishing cloth.
I'd suggest an adjustable like the Slim or Super Adjustable
