Just the right size, easy to grip. Feels good for me as a beginner. Maybe a bit on the heavy side. But completely satisfied.
Classic safety razor with Butterfly-opening, which means that the razor head opens up around the blade like a pair of wings when you twist the handle.
Easy-grip lined handle that makes the razor lay firmly in the hand throughout the shave.
This is how the safety razor sounds with Derby razor blade:
Used with traditional safety (double edge) blades.

Works very well. Better than Gillette and cheaper.
Had a Merkur 34 that gave up after a few years; the screw mechanism threads corroded and broke. I've had the Sailor for a couple of months now and am very satisfied. In my opinion, it shaves much better, resulting in a closer shave and completely smooth skin. However, it requires careful and lighter handling to avoid cuts. The blade change mechanism also works very well.
It only worked to shave on a completely smooth surface, otherwise I started bleeding immediately. Then I didn't think it was possible to shave so that all the hair disappeared; stubble was left instead.
Have had the same experience as several others with razor burn, not sure if mine was a Monday model. I use Feather razor blades and had no problems with my Merkur, which has been a fantastic workhorse for several years until the threads finally gave out. I will repurchase the Merkur and throw this one in the trash.
Very satisfied, the only negative is that there should have been rubber on the handle as it is a bit slippery to hold with wet fingers, but I still give it five stars.
Works fine. The handle gets a bit slippery when you have wet, soapy fingers.
Feels great in hand! My husband uses his for his face, I use mine for my legs - never been so smooth and less irritation/red spots. Used together with Sailors razor blades. Very easy to change blades and they sit firmly.
Good
