17 - 4 is still king in my den. I hope Andy makes more so people will be able to see how great this razor is. Bbs everytime without even trying. Angle is very easy to find and it is smooth!

+1 on this.

I’m sorry I missed out. First batch took over a month to sell out. I considered buying on a few occasions too. Never pulled the trigger & now I’m kicking myself.

I wasn't really looking to buy a new DE, but I happened to stumble on the raving reviews and I thought, this much satisfaction is a first in the forums, so I bought one of the last ones. Probably the best action I ever took in my life.

Can anyone recommend a good razor stand that fits the 17-4?

I had Aaron make me a tin travel box which takes the head, the handle ( I changed to the Stork Taipan ) and a few blades. Life is good.

Pulled out the original Paradigm Ti last night to see if I was going to keep it. 2 day beard growth and with a WTG, XTG and touch up under the jaw line and mid neck I was BBS for a good 12 hours. No need to shave tonight but wanted to try my new brush so I did a one pass with my Fatboy. The Ti is not quite as smooth as the 17-4 but certainly gave an awesome shave with no nicks, cuts or burn. Going to keep it as it’s didferent enough from the 17-4

Is this razor ever coming back? Anyone know what the future of this razor is?

Italian Barber makes a stainless steel razor stand that fits the 17-4 perfectly and the quality is fantastic.
I only wish it fit the radio knob handle on my Game Changer, haha.

Last word I’d heard is that Bullgoose and Paradigm would have another batch of the Ti II this month or next and then the single edge and then another DE in some sort of stainless. Maybe 17-4 but possibly something easier to machine like 316.
