Stand comparison: Maggard 15mm, RazoRock Variable Width Dome and Flat Top. I think I like the RR dome top the best. The RazoRock stands would look awesome with a band of duplicate knurling on the side.
Sorry about the dust. Next time I will clean up a bit before taking pics.

I'm actually a bit confused. So I checked out Bullgoose's Instagram page and saw a couple of photos regarding the next batch of Sailors incoming to Phil. It appears that Murat is using polished brass rings instead of gold plated rings this time.
Does anyone know if these new batches have the same handle dimensions as the MC?

Nice looking stands! The only concern I have would be scratching the gold plating with the dome or the flat top....
Something wild is loose

Those actually looked like the 22k gold rings Murat had advertised as an option instead of gold plating, in which case, with the original pricing, these razors may show up in the $1,500 range instead of the $700 MC. If indeed brass and the number engraving was sufficiently deep, at least user-polishing would be an option, and a brass patina would be unique....(11-15-2021, 03:39 PM)slantman Wrote: Per Phil new Sailors arriving in about two weeks.

If I use one of those stands I will put a thin spacer in the bottom to make the gap larger. The variable stands may not be suitable for the 2021 since the handle is narrower and the razor will sit even lower in the socket.(11-15-2021, 06:58 PM)Sledge Wrote: Stand comparison: Maggard 15mm, RazoRock Variable Width Dome and Flat Top.

Yeah I remember that one with the solid gold ring option. I think Phil's pretty adamant about it being brass though. I just got word the new batch also has the handle length increased just like the MC. I'm trying to secure one, guess I'll find out soon what the actual price on it is..lol

There was no glue residue. I noticed it had some play last week but tonight it just fell out.
