Living on the edge
Going by the comparison pic, the knurling on the MC handle seems a tad lighter than the other two razors flanking it.
I vaguely remember Loot mentioning this altho I can't be sure, will have to go back and read.

Also, a dumb q: does this razor have a spring inside it and what happens if you need to change it after 10 years, or it gets
a bit loose over time?

I believe this is true of what you mentioned about the knurling.

The baseplate has two springs in it. As far as I know, it is not user serviceable.

I don't want this to be interpreted as interfering in his design process,
just thinking aloud....re: handle knurling: for future Sailor iterations, there's a hell of a lot of visual
inspiration in the way nautical rope looks...you know, the multiple strands that form one.

That might look nice (and possibly, more grippy)

Or is it too literal an interpretation....ie. on the nose?

I don't think you are interfering at all.  Any fine art can be open to interpretation.

Sure, the grip on the standard Sailor offers the most grip compared to his other offerings, but is in no way a deal breaker.  One just needs a clean hand without soap to have the optimal grip.  I shave with cold water, and notice this actually provides me with improved grip.  If you are one that shaves with lather all over your hands, then that might pose a concern; an alum block or a dry towel can take care of that.

As for the strands in the detail, it's already there, but not in normal viewing circumstances.  Noticed this when I looked up close with the sun shining in one day, here is a photo I tried to replicate with a flash.

I have to say that the subtle changes that Murat made to the Sailor in the Master Collection are well worth it for me. The extra handle length alone makes this razor one of the best balanced versions of the Sailor available! I had one of those “epic” shaves today. I never really liked the handle length on the original 2021 but the shave is so great that I could over look that. Now with the added 5mm and a slight slim down on the handle, this thing is even better than the original! LOOT was spot on with the new balance. Love this thing!! IG post link is below with pic.

Hi just curious: 1. What is the price for a MC? 2. I have a sailor 2021, but would like the matching stand. Can this be purchased by chance now? Thanks

$690 usd (includes shipping, but not Western Union fees). I do not know the answer to your question about purchasing the stand separately. You could try sending an Email to info@rocnel.com .

The mc handle is a different geometry than the 2021 so his stand likely would not fit (speculation). WRA2 stand works like a charm.
