I believe he should stick with his brand trend; else, he would destroy the brand value. I like Ti with chevron, and SS with diamond patterns.

What I look at is this is a rebranding whether intentional or not and it’s a shift away from what attracted me to the brand initially.

The brands you listed cannot be mistaken for another!

Looks like price will be $119.95

Can't really complain. I'll likely be getting one.

Spending $120 on anything ordinary is just a waste of money if you already have some pretty cool artisan made razors in your den. 

It could be a nice deal for someone who just has a few razors; but already, there are many inexpensive (US or Canadian made) razors available on the market.

Even, some hobbyists will wonder and buy it, because the brand is Paradigm. However after using it once or twice, you'll see that they'll list it on the BST thread. 
Since, today it is not enough to make a razor an outstanding shaver; artisans must also work extra to make the razor aesthetically pleasing, too.

Well, I could use a cheap burner to take on travels...wont hurt if it gets lost or nicked.

Plus, I have to say that baseplate looks great.
