Paradigm 17-4 SS Razor

I’ve used the 17-4 for three weeks in a row now and the shaves are great. Before that I struggled for a few shaves because I slipped back into my old habit of changing razors daily. Switching between razors all the time never helped my shaves. 6C, Timeless .68 & Paradigm all give similar (wonderful) shaves. Once I get to know a razors angles it’s the blade that cuts.

A real beauty and work of art and taking nothing away from the 17-4 I can also get the same result with a Rockwell 6C.

What rockwell plate you compare it to, if you don’t mind?

Very different designs but plates 4 & 5. You’ll get responses I’m sure that the Rockwell isn’t as efficient but I can’t tell much of a difference. Both amazing razors.

Is the pictured SE available, or is that a prototype being tested?

Looks cool!

Kinda Star Trek-like...

These comments from the experts make me feel very grateful that I’ve got a 17-4. I love this razor. I’m beginning to think if I never acquire another Paradigm (ha), somehow I’ll survive.

Same feelings here Scott, I have the 17-4 and love it to bits. I must had been divinely inspired the moment I ordered it based on the reviews and I think this one has killed the RAD for the moment.

Just an aluminum prototype, although this should be the production specs. It’s spectacular. One of the best shaves I’ve ever had was this morning with it.

Some Paradigm Shaveware razors got together over the weekend

That’s a lot of Paradigm Shaveware goodness right there! GroomingDept having used all three, which one is your favorite shaver?

I would say the 17-4 & SE are my favorites. These two razors shave differently due to the blade type, but produce very similar shaves.

When are the 2 other razors? For the uninitiated.

Ron, I hear what you're saying. I have a 17-4, which is a tremendous razor for which I don't mind, a bit, paying its very extravagant purchase price. I don't yet own a titanium razor, and never expect to, because I know the justifiably higher price is due to materials that don't improve the quality of the shave. Or so I suspect. In particular because I enjoy heavier razors, as opposed to aluminum, for example.
