Based on my previous experience, it should mean that it will ship by August 31.

Thanks for your help. That's what I thought but when I go to checkout I get this error " Products marked with *** are not available in the desired quantity or not in stock!" so I can't get to the checkout stage. Very curious. I will contact them through the website.

Try Instagram. Murat is good about answering his IG page.

With this lighter handle it feels fantastic!
Knurling feels bit sharper, deeper, grippier?
Top cap as you can see.
The turning mechanism is a bit rough - can someone confirm?

I don’t own an MC but my 2019 and 2021 Sailor’s are much smoother and silent when I turn them vs this 2023 Hybrid that does feel somewhat rough in comparison and has an audible sound when rotated.

I asked him - this was the answer:

"The hybrid model contains protective oil. It becomes more stable over time."

I got the razor a couple of days ago and it looks good.
 First shave today  just put the cap on  went after it on #5 then down some to around 4. 
I actually didn't think about the top cap direction until later. 
So it seems the Rocnel on the cap needs to be backwards from the number indicator like before. 
The lower weight is noticeable in a good way, for me. [Image: qaJb7rJ.jpg][Image: UqJXbHe.jpg]

I thought I read where Murat had changed the design at some point to where you can only put the head together one way so that it can't be put together backwards, could of course be wrong though!!

cornbread said in his review a few posts up that this is no longer the case.
At least that was my take-out.

That's what I thought I'd read somewhere I might have to back up and reread.

Gone are the days you have to make sure the cap is facing the right way. It’s lost some charm but this my favorite product from Rocnel ( won’t call it a sailor out of respect). 


Was on the main Sailor thread.
