Favorite razor by the decade

I've seen a lot of threads about favorite razors, but I don't remember I've seen one that would rate only one favorite razor in each decade. Here are my favorite razors by each decade, based upon my razor collection, and with my experience of having coarse heavy whiskers:

1900s = Gem Junior New Bar SE razor circa 1907

1910s = Gillette Old Type 1917

1920s = Gillette New Improved

1930s = Gillette Aristocrat 1936

1940s = Gillette Super Speed 1948

1950s = Gillette Fat Boy

1960s = Gillette Slim

1970s = Gillette Super Adjustable "Black Beauty" Short Handle

1980s = Merkur Futur

1990s = Merkur Vision

2000s = Muhle R89

It's interesting to me that 5 of my 11 selections are adjustable razors! I would have not guessed that.
