I have a collection of vintage Gillettes going back over a century. All still perfectly usable. The butterfly adjustables like the late 50s Fatboy and early 60s Slim are amazing as you can adjust the blade gap for different part of the face, or thickness of stubble. In recent years there's been a renaissance and there's newer brands that emulate the classic Gillettes.
These days I pretty much use the same Merkur 34C, which is also the first safety razor I bought 15 years ago.
