How does this razor differ from the Sailor 2021? (Other than the gold ring of course)
Happy shaves,
- It looks like the published weight is the same, right?
- Is the handle length and diameter the same?
- The head?
- It's been mentioned the baseplate might be different but I don't know enough about the Sailors to have a clue?
- Is this essentially the same as the 2021 with a gold ring?

I can offer a little input. I think I own the only Master Collection on the street, #01. #02 is in transit. I also own a 2021 prototype.
1. Mine are close. From memory, the MC might be 5-6g lighter. I an weigh again if you'd like.
2. The MC handle is 5mm longer and 1mm in dia. Smaller. 14.8ish vs 13.8ish. Again, from memory and willing to verify.
3. The head, to my eye, is the same. I've only used the MC twice. At 4, they felt the same. At 6 the MC was a little smoother than I recalled the 2020. I will run them side by side next shave to confirm.
4. See #3
5. It is different as described above. The MC feels lighter than it is. The handle is much better, to me. It makes the razor a little more maneuverable. Both are perfectly balanced, from virtually the same spot.
The stand with the MC is impressive. Weighs like 270g or so.
Pics are of the 2 razors together.
Also, the MC is supposed to be machined, finished, and assembled by Murat by himself. Just a data point.
Hope this helps.
