Wondering what razor(s) you would compare it to. Also - are they easy to sell used it for some reason it’s not a fit for the buyer?
The answer to your question is there is no comparison to any other razor. Out there. The main reason is the full spectrum of the available adjustments. They will take you all the way trough these efficiency/aggressive/effective ness levels listed below, an I cannot think of any one razor that can. I’m going to use the word efficient below for ease of words.
Mildly efficient
Moderately efficient
Efficient
Very efficient
Extremely efficient
Uber efficient
So at the highest settings it leaves any other extremely efficient/aggressive /effective razor behind that I’ve ever used and I’ve used more than a lot. In my 20 years in traditional wet shaving.
So bottom line, the Rocnel Sailor is a whole lot of other razors rolled into one!
Are there smoother razors with less blade feel when comparing to different settings on the Sailor? Yes for sure. Are there more maneuverable razors than this heavyweight? Yes.
If Murat would build this razor in Titanium for me it could be a reason for me to eliminate all the other razors in my den. Not saying I would but I’m just talking about the shave.
I’ve had 3 Sailors and sold 2 and not lost a dime. With that said I can’t predict what the market will be like today or tomorrow.
Just my 2 cents on the question.
