Paradigm 2020 Diamondback

seems to have run into a tough adversary in Bullgoose, who has pretty much finished him off professionally.
So some form of justice has been administered. I wonder if Avi was ever brought to book.

Are you saying that Andy has pretty much stopped making razors at this point? Hadn't heard that so I'm curious.

No Im not saying that specifically....I don't know....what I mean is that the public airing of text messages etc
has created a lot of anti Paradigm sentiment. The partnership he had lined up seems to have evaporated.
You get people saying stuff like I'll never buy a blah blah ever and so on...It's hard to come back from that.

If he finds a partner or the cash to make more razors, people will buy them. His razors have been very well received for the most part. Still, I think he's going to have trouble finding fiscal support without proving himself going forward.

Wet shavers, by and large, have a short memory.

Whaaaat? That's kinda surprising given your disdain for the practices of the Raw owner. Shady is shady, no? What am I missing?

Fair question....I did kick up a hell of a ruckus about that guy Avi and disrupt the entire equilibrium
of the shaving world.

If Andy at paradigm makes a nice Ti razor, I'll be tempted...not because I like him or his business ways...but
because I now have a Ti thing...and I don't know if Dufour will ever offer them again. I'll also be sure to protect
myself...so I make no losses. Eg. I'd never ever pay upfront for something I haven't received. Anyway the dude

I agree with the comment that the wetshaving community, in general, has a short memory; witness PAA, for example. I know there are still a few guys who won't do business with them because of past transgressions, but I think "Douglas Smythe" is actually being very successful now despite all that brouhaha back in the day.

Sounds like Jake at Yates Precision will do a run of Titanium M plate razors for sale on his site as well.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the way you think.

Timeless also makes a nice titanium offering

Right or wrong, learning about what transpired with Bullgoose has disabused me of the notion that I might like to own a Diamondback.

Not defending anyone but remember there is always more to the story than we know

Of course. I just based my statement on the parts of the story already acknowledged and admitted to by the Paradigm owner....not on any accusations that are as yet unsubstantiated or potentially in dispute.
