Paradigm 17-4 SS Razor

My two UFO handles don't fit. Neither did my Timeless or Wolfman WRH1, but surprisingly the Wolfman Guerilla fit fine.

There are a lot of experts out there on products they don’t own. I got a lecture on another big forum from a guy who hasn’t bought the 17-4 that it has nothing to do with the hardness of the steel used just the tight threads.

Could be a combination who knows. My Wolfman WRH1 doesn’t fit either but it is standard threading according to Paradigm. Interesting to discover this as I think this is the first razor made out of 17-4 steel.

Again, I love the handle and it’s balanced perfectly.

The shaves really are extraordinary. Best I’ve had in 25 years wet shaving.

I am on the fence. I tried the titanium via a pass around and fell in love with the generous blade gap and shape of the handle. The 17-4 by some accounts has virtually no blade feel and is a mild shaver, something I already have covered with my current inventory. For me, the previous design sounds more appealing.

I am not sure who thinks this is a mild razor. the Timeless Bronze, Feather ASD2, RR Mamba are mild shavors IMHO. The 17-4 is very smooth, ie very little blade feel and it glides easily across my face but its efficiency is NOT mild it equals my Timeless Ti .95.Timeless SS .95 and my Wolfman .74 Ti.
I think confusion arises on how we describe our shaves. For me smooth to aggressive describes how the razor feels on my face and Efficiency describes how well it removes my whiskers in a typical 3 pass shave, ie do I need buffing or touchups? Just my opinion

I’m in. Just purchased based on the recommendation of several members here that I respect as well as the rave reviews this Razor has been receiving. It’s definitely a looker, and I’m hoping it’s efficient enough for me. I love the idea of having a Razor that is smooth enough to use on a daily basis. I also like the idea of a high quality Razor being readily available. Looking forward to giving this one a go!

Mine was just delivered - can't wait to get home and check it out and get my first shave in the AM.

Out of respect for my toggle (in both looks and Shave), the SS Paradigm occupies a spot in the top two razors I own, it’s that good IMHO.
