Totally newb question,
Is the button above the adjustment dial a release button for the top cap?

The button is for disassembly and an indicator for dial position. If you look closely, the headcis really 3 pieces. The middle plate is captured to the base/handle...but it free floats on 2 or 3 captured springs. As ypu open the gap, the springs keep the middle plate pressed to the cap. The dial turns maybe 2.5 complete rotations before the cap is released. Ive used it at 1.5 complete rotations with no problem. I think George used his at 2 complete turns with no issues.Totally newb question,

Thank you so much for your detailed response! I will be sure to refer back to this post once the razor gets here to me.The button is for disassembly and an indicator for dial position.

To load a blade, I lay the top cap on a towel, place blade, then stand the razor on top. You have to press the handle down to compress the springs to get the threads to engage. Pretty straight forward.
Its essentially only a 2 pieces razor but there are a bunch of parts. This razor I clean thoroughly with a toothbrush and soap or scrubbing bubbles after every use. I keep a can of computer diluster handy to blow it dry, the prop it up on its head sans cap, as pictured. This allows any water down in the barrel to drain. A little tip I picked up during my Gillette adjustable run.
Hope this helps.

Thought you guys might appreciate this. While there isn't anything official yet on their own website, I found this while I was browsing for pictures:

I have ordered directly from Murat. He has not accepted the Western Union payment as of yet lol. Probably during the weekday.Yes they appear to be one of rocnel dealers. Are you ordering from this shop or directly from Murat?

Will sure do once it arrives. Just curious, what is your serial number on yours?Excellent! Would be great to read your findings of the razor.
Good post. As you go up, so will blade feel but it'll still retain the vast majority of the smoothness...I predict. If I may, as you go up in gap, monitor how long the BBS lasts and include with your reports?After using only the 2020 sailor s razor exclusively for a few days I am now much more used to the razor and how to use it and am enjoying great shaves. Yesterday I had one of the closest shaves I have ever had, and i am now at the fourth stage for WTG, the third stage with ATG and the second stage for XTG. (I use stage rather than setting because the setting reading differs depending which type one's Sailor razor is, please see the preceding post).
When shaving with the razor, the blade is always felt once one departs from the first two stages. However it is never unpleasant and you have a strong degree of control with how solid the razor feels in the hand. I will try the fifth stage next to see how that shave will go the next time I use it!
I have had Nacet, Feather and Voskhod with this razor and of all of them, I found the Voskhod blade seems to pair the best with the razor for my purposes and preferences.
To sum up, this razor is certainly one of my favourites among all the razors I have.
