Andrew, I just don't know yet.

Ok thanks. Stay well

Looking good Andrew and the handle is unmistakably within the Paradigm family - no mistake

90.75 mm

I was hoping for something closer to 90.72 mm .  Oh well, I guess 90.75 will have to be close enough .

Good length!!

I always thought I liked 80 mm best, but my favorite razors are 90 mm or just over (like the Diamondback) and I use them more and more lately with the handles they came with--the one exception is the very nice one a friend made for me, which I still love.  I guess 90 mm is starting to grow on me.

I am very excited to try this length with the taper and texturing.  Bravo!!

Paradigm DB and Raw RS10A are very similar razors.
Both are very smooth, similar efficiency and blade feel.
Like both a lot.

Thanks for these comparisons...makes it clearer to understand....I normally look for more efficiency.

Same here, I prefer a bit more efficient razors.

Elvis Outlander I do believe that might be my man Chris, who is rumored to look like Elvis  Yeah, I just finished the shop drawings, so that dimension stuck in my head.

Maybe it’s just me but on the Diamondback vs RS10 efficiency comparison I find the DB dead even with the WR2Ti 1.35 SB and IMHO I find the RS 10 ever so slightly more efficient than a Paradigm 17 4 with the so called aggressive plate on it but not at the DB or 1.35 WR2 Level but more so in between and for me it’s noticeable. Of course it could be blades etc but I’m running Feathers on all the above mentioned razors so again it might be just me.

I haven’t pulled out my RS-10 in a while and the reason for that is because I don’t find it as efficient as many of my top razors, including the Diamondback or my WR2 1.25, 1.35 or obviously my 1.55. I have considered selling my RS-10 but it seems to keep its value so I might just keep it. I don’t consider it even close to the Diamondback though.

I also found the DB efficiency on par with the RS-10, and equally smooth. The differences in handles caused me to sell the DB and keep the RS-10. I feel a greater sense of ‘security’ with the RS handle. Neither is as efficient as the WR 1.25 and up, IMHO.
