My 2021 RSMC razor arrived just a few days ago. What a gorgeous razor!
That said, I'm all about the shave. If it doesn't shave me to my satisfaction I don't care how good it looks.
I've only used the razor twice. Once was the second shave of the day just because I had to even though I knew it was stupid, so it hardly counts. The second shave was much better. Playing with the settings, I've used Dot, I, III, IV, and V. All are smooth feeling. None have horrible blade feeling or anything like that. At least a few more shaves are in order before I feel like I've done anything more than gotten my feet wet with the Sailor, but I'm pretty impressed so far.
Impressed with the closeness of the shave. Impressed with the fact I've not damaged my skin or ended up feeling like the shave was "too much" or my skin felt "overdone."
Before shaving with the razor I installed a blade I intended to sacrifice. The idea was to use a credit card to see if the blade exposure on the Dot setting would be negative. I think on Dot there is a negative blade exposure.
My plan today is to see what an entire shave on the Dot setting is like for me. However, for most shaves I plan to vary the setting throughout the shave.
Happy shaves,
Jim
