The only thing I have issues with is the short handle which I think I may rectify by having a custom knob done for it by Scott at Marley Machine Works in Canada. He has done a few of these for me for my HLS Taiga and Elbrus razors as well as my Tatara Muramasa. He does an amazing job and it will be made out of titanium if he can do it. Sending him my hybrid Sailor as the knob end on that one is identical to the new MC titanium Sailor. For now, here’s a pic of my Sailor collection starting with the B&R Adjustables and then the progression to the latest titanium Sailor. One small mistake is that I should have put the original Sailor in the slot after the B&R Adjustables.Fantastic collection!

What if you had to choose just one? The one you would never leave?
LOOT I ask the same question
you own many Rocnel Sailors, you have a large collection... which one do you like best?

2019 and 2020 are my favorites.

This hurts my heart to even ponder...today, the Ti. It checks all of the boxes. Great shaver. Plenty of gap available. Smooth....and the lighter weight is really enjoyable. It's easier to wield. I've used the Ti 5 or 6 times and is continues to impress. I predominantly run all of mine one full twist back to the dot for the first pass and they all eliminate any amount of growth in 1 pass. I can't seem to clog it either. The limiting factor on rinsing is the amount of lather I want running down my hand. The Ti is special....as is the 2020.

So 2020 has something magical, I imagine that the Ti version is truly a step forward in terms of handling and weight of the razor
Amazing work by Murat

Didn't like the hybrid? perhaps it is a good compromise between SS and TI, perhaps for those who cannot use razors that are too light
