2021/22 Rocnel Sailor Adjustable

Had my second shave with the Sailor just now. Same Kai blade, 2nd use - ignored all your kind advice, sorry about that. Dialled the razor down to setting 3 for the first two passes, then setting 2 for the third. No touch ups, and none needed. Got a wonderfully close shave, very comfortable and smooth, absolutely zero irritation with these settings. Probably as good a shave as I’ve ever had - pretty much perfection. This razor just scythes through a two-day growth so effortlessly. Still plan to play with settings and blades some more, but this worked very well indeed for me. Think I will go back to setting 4 for the first pass next time as it just felt more epic than setting 3.

I also received a brace of badgers today that I commissioned from Leonidam in Venice the same day I ordered my Sailor Master Collection, so it has been a rather fabulous week. On top of everything I managed to smuggle all these parcels past my wife without her seeing. Gratuitous team photo below, and happy shaves to you all….

Moriarty  nice  shave report!
    Funny about snuggling the gear past your wife. Haha , yep!

Yes, that is funny!  And I can relate!  Nice looking brushes, btw.  Enjoy!

My heart and mind continue to yearn for a titanium Sailor.  My wallet is protesting.  My heart and mind will crush my wallet when/if the time comes.

He says for full Ti it will "take some years"....are you willing to wait that long?

I wasn't.

Waiting isn't costing me anything, so sure, if it takes that long, I'm cool with it.  It's definitely not something I "need", hahaha.

yep that's wot I said too.

How wrong I was.

I don’t know if this has been asked before… But is there any difference in the head between sailor 2021 vs Master Edition? Is it the same shave geometry? Is polished more etc. I see differences in handle only. Am I missing something.  Thank You

Identical. The minor handle modifications make it much more ergonomic

Thank you very much my Friend for the clarification! Ergonomics does change the way you shave with a razor and can make an a big impact on some razors (ie aluminum vs titanium vs steel vs brass / polished vs machines vs bead blasted / long handle vs short handle / a handles grip point and where your pinky rests, etc…)

Question, does anyone know if and when a Titanium version of the Sailor will be an reality?

I messaged Murat probably 6 months ago and all he said was maybe 2022. So any updates?

He deliberately uses vague language to talk about this...because I suspect he himself
does not know. But he's polite and a damn good salesman, so he will say something
that keeps hope alive.

He told me "a few years"...that could be anywhere upwards of 3 years.

And he will do a steel-Ti hybrid model before attempting full Ti.

I got a sense it would be a loooong wait for full Ti so decided to get the MC and enjoy it until then.
