2021/22 Rocnel Sailor Adjustable

I'm curious how others shave with this wrt angle - steep or shallow?

I run all razors steep. Very steep.

And I shave shallow. I did try steep, which isn't very far from shallow at the lowest setting, and I didn't notice a difference. Very smooth.

1st 2 passes at 3.5. Final 1/2 pass at 2.5. Perfect shave. No complaints at all.

Beautiful my man!!

I love the lowest setting, especially with buffing. I can buff all day and feel completely safe without having to worry about taking off my skin.

I was hoping to hear something like this, as buffing is where I usually end up with a bit of redness.

I think this razor sounds awesome in SS, and it will be an absolute humdinger in Ti!

It would definitely be the RAD killer for me. Be all end all of all razors.

Early morning shave with this Rocnel set from 4 - 2 really trying to get the most from the adjustability. 
In the most difficult corner spot, below the jaw I went to 4 on the cleanup.
  Around a couple of more sensitive AGT areas I shifted down into setting 2, as it felt better. Not sure the settings changes made the shave more efficient but it was enjoyable.
  Not my usual but did the ole rinse the razor  with the  facet instead of just a sink of water, did both. No problems with either razor rinsing way.
 Cino seems like I was on a steep angle, maybe 30° or less, hard to tell. Just kind of where it worked with no real thought .

It seems like the folks who like huge gaps like WR2 1.[infinity] or adjustables wide open shave steep?

My 2021 Sailor has the same top cap rattle that others are observing. My Rex Ambassador does not have a similar rattle. IMHO the rattle is not a defect, but rather, inherent to the design of the Sailor.

It's hard for me to picture this, apart from the video that Keto posted.
Clearly, everyones is enjoying the shaves, so it's not interfering with the functionality.
But doesn't a loose top cap mean the blade isn't as tightly gripped as it should be?
Or does the top cap only wiggle/rattle when there is no blade inside?

As someone else mentioned, it’s not the top cap that is actually rattling or loose, it’s something inside the razor. On mine, when the adjustment knob is in the closed, I or II position there is no rattle even when vigorously shaken... The top cap and baseplate seem to sandwich everything together tightly. At setting III or higher I do get the rattle (empty or blade loaded) but only when I give the razor a brisk shaking. However, I cannot detect any blade chatter or rattling when simply shaving or rinsing at any of the settings.

Shave two. Setting I today. Awesome! Ride the cap, ride the bar, I didn't notice any appreciable difference. Just smoooooth.
