Sailor 20 vs Sailor 22 Shootout

After the 21 vs 22 Shoutout, I've was asked for this a few times - so here goes.

The 2020 Version is generally considered the best all round Sailor as a shaver. It goes from mild and because it can be overclocked it can also get pretty aggressive.

SOTD 2022/06/27
2022 Sailor / Wizamet Super Iridium - Setting: 3
Chubby 2 Synthetic
Master Soap Creations / Orange and Cedar Wood

I kept the setting on 3 for the entire shave (Same as the previous shootout).
As expected in order to get to a BBS, I needed a fair bit of touch-up's. I felt no drag, a testimony to the soaps. 12 Hours later, yes there was some stubble.
Lets see what tomorrow brings.

2020 Sailor / Wizamet Super Iridium - Setting: 3
That Darn Rob - Tuxedo
Master Soap Creations - Vintage Spice

I kept the 3 Setting for the entire shave.
I needed less touch-ups, so its slightly more effecient a shaver. The TopCap is polished and the soap is slick so as expected there was no drag.

2022 Sailor / Wizamet Super Iridium - Setting: 4-7-7 (Yes - Overclocked)
Rubberset 400 with a Oumo Silvertip Fan
Mammoth Soaps - Beloved

I started WTG on 4 and then dialed it to 7 for the ATG pass. There was far less touch-ups needed after the AGT pass but I did catch a weeper on my chin. It may have been my imagination but I did find a very slight bit more drag - but really nothing to write home about.
I tend to favor more aggressive razors, so opening it is where I need to use it in future.

2020 Sailor / Wizamet Super Iridium - Setting: 4-7-7 (Overclocked again)
Rubberset 400 with an Oumo Manchurian Fan
Mammoth Soaps - Shire

Last shave in this comparison. I did the same, started on 4 and dialed it to 7 for the AGT pass.
Same finding as before, I found it to be a little more effecient.



Overall Conclusions
After this shave-off, I still think that the 2020 Model retains its position as the best shaver. The 2022 version is not far behind and I think that a polished top cap might pip the scales its way. (No I'm definitely not polishing my top cap to find out)

Some personal preferences on each razor:
Personal preferences - Sailor 2020.
Slightly better shaver
I polished the numbered dial and it's now silver

Personal preferences - Sailor 2022.
I REALLY love the fact that its a 3-Piece. I think that this is a huge improvement.
Visually I prefer the satin finish but aknowledge that it does bring some drag with it.
It's handle is shorter than the 2020 version.
