Agreed. At some point it is just more gap. I think 10 is a good number for me, based on the 2020. Law of diminishing returns. That's quite alright too. It also requires more focus than I can normally muster. At some point the shave is no longer fun.

Alright gents, I want in on this fun. How do I get my hands on a Sailor 21??
Contact Murat direct on Instagram via PM. Only way I know.

Or wait for Bullgoose to drop some more?
Maybe. I was kinda thinking Phil had all of his. I could be wrong tho. If you go through Murat, you might get him to do a gold ring, which really looks good.

Might be extra but well worth it. One of the best standard features of last year's model.@loot Thank you James! I just sent Murat a message on Instagram. I’m excited to hear his response and join this crazy, growing club of Sailors
Gold ring you say?? I want that!!
Thank you for confirming the beauty of the Sailor with the gold ring. @loot the Sailor in the photo looks gorgeous!
$100 more and takes a month instead of the usual 10 days.
I think what you said about at some point turning these up are diminished returns.
I turned mine up bunch a few days ago. I think it was on like 12 or so, didn't get the readers out to make exactly sure.
It was still relatively smooth, bit I couldn't see any extra benefits.
I'll probably be staying in the 2-5 ish range.
It interesting to adjust these, just to see what they will do.
I decided to go 5-4-3 on my 3 passes. Rewarded with a silky smooth BBS shave. Extremely efficient on setting 5 yet maintains smoothness, somehow. I’m convinced that the weight of the razor is contributing to its impressive efficiency.
Extremely impressed yet again. Only the Wr2 1.45 left me with this type of BBS, yet the RS 21 is smoother and more comfortable.
What can’t the Rocnel Sailor do?!?

In WR2 terms I have no desire to go higher than 1.55
So if a Sailor on 5 is a 1.45 I doubt I would ever go beyond 6-7 on a sailor.
But good to know that it can if you just want to play.

While most are going ‘wild’ on this Sailor, I decided to shave on the dot — mildest setting. Smoooooooth operator, this Sailor. Paired with a Perma-Sharp (thanks, @BradWorld ), this was a buttery shave on nearly two days’ growth. Two insanely smooth passes left my face happy. But, I decided to crank her up to IV for a final AGT pass. Even at 4, this thing glides effortlessly across the shave plane. Marvelous razor.
I shaved on a 4 setting and hit the point of diminishing returns for me for daily shaving. I noticed the irritation on one sensitive part of my neck more than any added efficiency. I will still keep this setting in my back pocket for multiple days of beard growth.
Of course, that doesn't mean I won't use it in mix and match settings or crank it up further just to see what happens.

My daily settings are between 4 and 6 but once in a while I might go lower or higher, if you turn the dial twice around you end up with a gap where a Q-tip fits in between. But so far no cuts during head and face shaves even at this setting. All my other razors have been lonely the last months.
does the top cap seem unstable and wiggle a little with this setting?
After getting such a great shave from the Diamondback yesterday pulled out

I’ve noticed that there is some ‘play’ when the gap is that high.
not with my 2020 but a little with the 2021
