Use the Fat, Luke!
Thank you all so much!!
Ding! Ding! Ding!We have a winner! Great post...
Any TTO open comb followed closely by any adjustable.
The TTO's edge out my other open combs for ease of use, and the adjustables - well, they're 9 razors in one.

For me - it's the Tech.

Impossible to find barbicide in Manhattan. Once I do, I'll tell you what I think of the one I just got
+1!! Great shavers!!IMHO the NEW
Pending my first use of an adjustable, the Red Tip.
While the Red tip is a TTO it is not an adjustable.
He knows that. What his post says, is that for now (until he tries an adjustable), his favorite is the red tip.

If you have RAD, the best Gillette razor is the one you have not tried yet, that just came up for sale on B/S/T.
No, you're not.
Tonight, I felt as ease with my world, and a fat handle Tech provided the perfect shave - mild enough to let me be aggressive with my technique, it provided an excellent shave that let me feel just a little smug about the state of my skills with a safety razor.
The night before, a Fatboy dialed up to "8" provided a shave that required more discipline and precision, a much more focused exercise that matched my mood as I prepared for a workday.
Saturday, who knows? Maybe I'll be up for the challenge an open comb provides me, I might be in the mood for the reliable shave I get from a 40's SS, or perhaps I'll decide to pursue a memorable BBS shave with a Red Tip. I may even get all unconventional and use an Injector or Krona.
There is no "best" vintage razor for me, only one that is best for the moment.
Thanks for pointing that out. 
Just had a great shave with the Tech (1947). Never tried any other Gillettes. I know at least this one shaves perfect!

I like my Gillette SLIM for a DE shaver, excellent design for all kinds of aggressiveness and skin sensitivity!
The best one depends on the day of the week. I have a different best one for each day of the week.
