I agree with the mesh glove. Sometimes they are sold in (good) hardware stores also, usually as a protective glove for opening oysters.

I use this one: http://www.fantes.com/intruder-stainless-steel-cut-resistant-glove-medium
I have definitely run my hand to the blade with them a few times and they work. They can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

These are what I use:

Luckily, I've never had to test them out for real, but they are what we use on our manufacturing floor, which is why I went with them. They've been good so far (but, again, with no real-world proof of that, thank God, I'm always afraid of it when I use my mandoline!)

If you go to a restaurant supply store, they have special mesh gloves that are designed for this. I don't know how much they are today, it was over ten years ago and those ones were nylon.

I actually use some plain white cotton gloves which were previously stained. Since they were already in the house, I started using them with my mandoline. They're ripped in a couple of places, but they still provide adequate protection years later.
