Murat wrote that he is now offering the stand separately for 50 usd and 490 USD for the Sailor or 690 Usd for the MC.  You do get a cool box which is worth the price of admission for the MC.

That’s good info. Seems like there is good reason to get the standard razor with stand at USD 540. I’m sure the other enhancements for the MC series are worth the price too, but there is a significant difference, which wasn’t as much the case for the 2021 editions.

What is the "significant differences" between the 2022 standard Sailor and MC?  For the 2021, the handle length was different and I sure like the longer handle

What that means is Phil just clocked 10 grand.

and that Rocnel is hot (but we here already knew that!)

Didn't weigh (Santa wrapped it already!), but the adjustment post/dial looks like the same dimensions and appears to be drilled the same.  Adjusting for the weight of the medallion (6.664g ) on the MC, with the slightly greater thickness of the walls on the 2022 by comparison, I'd guess it's within a hair of the weight of the MC (mine is 142.5g), a heft I've actually come to like.

My guess is 139.9 grams for the 2022.

Both weigh in at exactly 142.5g.  Except for the medallion and the very slightly darker gold band on the MC, and the very slightly darker laser engraving, the razors in weight, balance and dimensions are apparently identical.

2022 Sailor and 2021 MC are identical, as far as I could tell - including the exact weight, dimensions and finish - except for the medallion in the MC and the hole in the handle of the 2022, at least visually.

Ah. Missed that. Thanks!

And assuming a 20% markup, a couple of grand in the till, variable either way.  If he spent a day or so lining this up and eats the shipping, Phil works hard for his money methinks....

I meant there’s a significant difference in the price. So it isn’t automatic that the 2022 MC is a better buy than the regular one.

Point taken. In any case, it will be interesting to see the changes to the new MC. If the finish really is different, and limited to the MC line...it could certainly tip the scales.

Personally, I will take my chances on it, sight unseen and likely would if I owned none simply because I think it would be easier to trade down than up. Production numbers alone would seem to support that argument. Right?

All speculation for now. I guess we wait until he releases some pictures.
