2021/22 Rocnel Sailor Adjustable

So, this thread (and others) makes me want to try the 2021. The 2020 has always seemed too heavy for my comfort zone. But the 2021.....here's what I might have missed: how does one get one?  When and where does availability appear?  Much appreciated for any help as to that!

I got mine from Bullgoose.

Hi there. If you have Instagram, contact Murat directly via PM. I always use Western Union to send him money and it adds about 10% to cost.

Others may be able to help you with a better payment method.

I wondered if MoneyGram might work to Turkey, like $8-11up to around $1000 + or- . My guess is no but I'm curious.

I just finished a wonderful shave.  The razor is incredible.

First impressions, I love the flared adjustment knob, it really gives a good positive feel and ease.

The lessened weight also made switching edges a lot easier and the  strokes are effortless.  The smaller form factor is a plus.

Although I can't really tell visually, the knurling does feel more grippy.

Onto the actual shave, this is where it was a little eye opening.  I could shave 1 or 2 notches higher than usual, it is smoother and milder.
Again, visually trying to determine a change to the shaving angle etc. I could not tell with my naked eye.
From a performance standpoint, my 2021 outperforms the 2020.  Just outstanding.

I started with a head shave first.  Loaded up a fresh Astra SP.  Took my time with the lather and went to work.  Wiped out 4 days of growth clean.  The efficiency I would peg the same, but the smoothness is improved.  Usual 3 passes, WTG, XTG, ATG. I used settings 3,2,1 respectively. Once done, I looked and felt like Mr.Clean lol.

Onto the face.  Had just over a weeks worth of growth.  Dailed it up to to 6, then 3, then finished with 1.
Again same 3 passes.  Left a tiny bit of goatee.  Both head and face is left with BBS.  Tiniest irritation on the top of my head when I went in a little hot, but rinsing with cold water it went away.  Zero irritation elsewhere.  I don't feel like using my other razors anymore.  I couldn't be any happier.
 

*in my best Denzel voice* My man!

Straight to 6!

You know it brotha! 

A great first shave. Kind of shortish handle, big thundering head but, it actually feels balanced and once your shaving, you really don’t notice it much, to me at least. Definitely more shaves to follow and get a better feel for it. Wonderful evening and shaves to all….

I wished he had Payoneer or something like that. 
Debit + WU is cheaper. WU Fees:

Got my first shave in this morning. Very preliminary thoughts, it'll take a few shaves before I really solidify any judgements. I always do a two pass shave, one WTG pass and one ATG pass, I used setting 4 WTG and setting 3 ATG. I can tell the razor is smooth, blade feel pretty low for a given efficiency level, and the weight really helps drive through tough spots. The head is lower profile than I expected and had no issues in tight spots. The balance is also better than expected, I was nervous that the handle would be too short, but I had no issues.

I believe that the razor comes with a Feather in it, which is where my issues stem from. Feathers are always rough for me, especially on the first shave. I'm considering giving the blade a second shot, since it'll be a bit smoother, but I'm also very tempted to chuck it and put my usual Lab blue in to really get a feel for it. I had a bit of irritation post shave and a couple minor weepers, but I can tell it's directly from the blade.

As of now, I can tell that the Sailor is a smooth razor with an endless range of efficiency available that is absolutely gorgeous to boot. It'll take a new blade before I can see if it'll be a long term keeper for me, the Titanium Blackbird has taken over my den at this point and it is difficult for me to justify multiple $300+ razors. Still, I don't think there are many that would dislike it, it'll go from fairly mild to absolutely wild efficiency and it's more agile than you would expect from it's appearance.

Feathers are not my favorite either. But I do recognize a need for them should the occasion call for one.

For the 2021 I just went to my favorite blade and the results were just great. Ironically, when I received the 2020 last year, I used a Feather. Fully justified as I was chopping off a 6 months beard off.

I think using your favorite blade or finding a blade that works for you for your '21 will be a game changer.

Lose the Feather.   I struggled through 3 shaves before switching to my standard Polsilver.   Night and day difference.   Life is too short.

Looked what showed up today… SPEECHLESS… I can’t wait to shave tonight… Sorry Wolfman Wednesday… I am skipping you tonight.
