Heh, if I wasn't so supremely satisfied with what I have, for sure I would've caved and bought. However, I am sticking to my guns and holding out for a ti version, should I be fortunate enough to land one IF they are actually made. I was just borderline shocked to see them available so many hours after someone posted that Bullgoose had stock.

I think if you're outside the US, it makes the most sense to buy direct
from Murat. Otherwise you get hit by Bullgoose's super high int'l shipping,
and he only uses DHL.
For those who may not have had the pleasure, I cannot say enough nice things
about how nice and cool Murat is to chat with. Really helpful, and never misses
a reply to an email.
All gone within 12 hours!
Being in the UK, I usually use a forward freight company for all my USA orders. On this occasion, I ordered direct from the source. PayPal is forbidden in Turkey, however the bank transfer process was so seamless and the interaction with Murat was flawless

Whoa, you got a black case! Very nice.
So I watched this video review on the Tube today and this reviewer called Sailor 21 razor “Toothy”, huh?!?!?
1st, I had never heard a razor being described as “Toothy”. 2nd, the reviewer made it sound as being as aggressive as a R41. Maybe he made the “toothy” remark as to convey that it’s very prone to biting. Is there any truth to this???
I thought its as smooth as a Wolfman Wr2 with high gap POWER!
As always YMMV but he made it seem like an uncomfortable shave. He is honest at least I’ll give him that but the term “toothy” can confuse his audience. It’s the same for aggressive vs blade feel. I like the term blade feel better because aggresion can differ from person to person.

I saw that....I think it's unavoidable for bias to creep into any review.
My assessment of this guy was....young....full coverage of beard but appears to have soft sensitive
skin. Seems to use fair bit of pressure on shaving strokes.
He seemed to really like the S2021 on 1 and the 2 settings.
Was hardly surprised then, that his ideal adjustable combo is Muramasa on 4 (1st pass) then 3...something like that.
My evaluation: His skin and technique isn't ready for a heavy razor like the Sailor 2021.
