2021/22 Rocnel Sailor Adjustable

Hello.  I received notification from Murat today that DHL has been given my address and that my razor should be on its way,  hopefully by next week,

Ah. Good luck with the delivery- seems to be necessary to say. I’m curious as to which model you ordered and when?  Trying to gauge what my timeline might be. Thanks.

I've actually got the 2021 Rocnel and the MC is on the porch, and thanks for the good luck. 
   I got the 2021 from Bullgoose and ordered the MC from Murat, the builder
  I'll have to look a little bit later and see when my order date was it's been a couple of months

Hoping all is well when you get home Keith and this can be no more than an annoyance that is in the past sooner rather than later.

Thanks LOOT.  I am definitely interested but still curious about the quirks you mentioned in another thread.  What quirks?  Please be specific since it is far from an insignificant purchase and I would like to know as much detail on negatives as positives of the razor.  Thanks again for your input.

Again, I'm not sure what your are referencing or what post you saw or the context in which my statements were made or to which model.  If you can point me to my post, I'll be glad to address it. Anything I know about Sailors is well documented in this thread.

You seem to be one of the most knowledgeable about the Sailor line.  Thanks for you patience as I dispel doubt before I jump in.   

Regarding my question, here is your response to a member post on another forum, "Should I buy a 2021 Rocnel Sailor, If so, why?"

One line of your response:  "The Sailor is superb, if you can get past the inherent quirks."  Sorry to be so focused on the word but before I spend the bucks what quirks were you referring to?  Is there anything other than the weight and head size that you have already noted that could be considered negative?  Thanks once again for your input.

If you scroll back some pages, you will see discussions on the 2020 head attachment with superglue. Some consider that a negative for that model, I don't. I've not asked specifically about the 2021 production or the 2021 MC head attachment method but I'm sure there is a post buried in this thread by another user who did ask....IIRC, Murat said only the 2020 model uses Loctite. Murat is pretty active on Instagram and he is very approachable if this may be an issue for you.

Some guys have noted the dot does align perfectly with the button on their particular model. I'm not sure if this has been an issue with any of the MCs or not...or even if this is a deal breaker for you.

Dome height and weight are going to be the biggies. The 2021 dome height and weight were cut down a good bit from the 2020 tho. The 21 essentially has the same head profile as a Wolfman WR2, to be fair. Probably explains why they feel so similar. I will edit this post with a photo for clarification.

Handle length could be an issue on the production 21. The MC has a slightly smaller diameter handle and it is 5mm longer than the production 21.

Oh...another thing is lack of user serviceability. You probably aren't going to take these things apart for cleaning.

That's about all I can think of that I would consider quirks...or negatives, even tho they aren't deal breakers to me, obviously.

Edit. OK..."essentially the same" might be strong. They are similar for sure. The baseplate of the WR2 is wider so I had to put the MC on a business card to try and align them. Hopefully, the photo helps.

LOOT … somebody just got a Stirling package!

Guilty!

I think I have about 15 Stirling business cards laying around.

Stirling is my favorite, again. I have and use other soaps but on a price/performance scale Stirling is king in my den. I think the GD preshave makes everything better tho.

Hello. I ordered the MC 2021 and I believe the date that I transferred funds was July 28.

Edit:
Minor Correction: Money was transferred on July 30

Lol, good eye Hdad , I had to expand the old phone screen to see what you were talking about.

The decision won't be easy for me.  2021 has improvements but I like the 2020 size and weight.
