2021/22 Rocnel Sailor Adjustable

However, if you have more than a week's beard growth, a razor with a larger gap and exposure will allow you to clean your face more quickly and efficiently.

And what I have seen is that this is always at the expense of comfort...it may be an acceptable trade-off but is present.

It's true that there can sometimes be trade-offs between efficiency and comfort. Depending on people's personal preferences and shaving routine, they can decide which setting they want to use. There is no definitive rule; it's a matter of individual choice and what works best for them.

How to position the Sailor's cap correctly, I don't know if it also applies to the latest model in TI but maybe it can help

HLS Taiga’s lined dots solution is more pratical

I would say that is always the case, not sometimes, to what degree is the only variable.
In an adjustable, efficiency and comfort are inversely proportional.

Yes, of course, these are all a "matter of individual choice"...people can run gaps as high as they want,
plus it is a very manly thing to proclaim—for exact context: the specific question by Hexciter I was answering was:

Is there any benefit/difference by setting higher than needed?

(the key word for me in that question is "needed" because need is perceived differently by different users)

Are you actually that insecure to accuse someone of showing some "machismo" due to shaving with a higher blade gap? 

That attitude makes as much sense as someone accusing another using a lower blade gap as "delicate."

Who gives a damn what other people use?  Just use whatever works for you.

I am not sure how "insecurity" comes into it.
Just making a personal observation, borne out by...well...personal observation.
Have noticed, time and again, how some users (across various shave fora) subliminally present their
high gap usage as some sort of manly or macho qualification. To give them the benefit of the doubt, I'm not
even sure they realise this...but I find it amusing, nevertheless.

Low gap users never seem to brag about the low gaps that do the job for them. They almost seem grateful
they don't need to subject their skin to unnecessary trauma.

Saying "who gives a damn" etc is a bit of a non sequitur...considering that I was answering a valid question
asked by someone else. Of course, anyone is free to use any gap to shave...use a scythe for all I care.

You crack me up, Jester28. 

Never seen someone use a scythe yet, but apparently shaving with an axe is a thing:
