I ordered a satin one and I hope that's what I get. I don't like polished razors.

Its all very confusing - to be honest - for myself there is no problem to let them made in another country - what pi*** me of is that they have the exact same razor in their line up which they sell or sold to some time. Im happy with that razor but wouldnt buy it again if I knew that before [Image: QEuWIWa.jpg]

The razor in your photos is the Paradigm Salient razor only polished or is it another razor that you are saying that the Salient is a copy of? Thanks.

Sry for not making it more clear - These pictures are the DS-OR razor - Pictures are from another forum - early May.[Image: Ea7YL8b.jpg]

This is all really sad to see. Apart from James Dufour, Andy has created the finest shaving array of razors and I wish all of them were still in production. Perhaps this is something that can be lined out and achieved in the future.

Its not about who copied from who when they "work" together or when DS produce his" razor. Its just sad to see how it went. Maybe or hopefully there will be better releases

I understand what you’re saying, I’m speaking in general about how the Paradigm releases have been going the last several years.

Thinking about it this afternoon, a quick search on several different Chinese sites will show copies of many different popular razors so I don’t blame Andy for that. Paradigm has a reputation for great shaving razors so it makes sense that copies would appear.

I really doubt he can rebound from this. When you get a chance at redemption you grab it and
never let go. He has dropped the ball so badly on this one, intentional or not. To squander
trust TWICE is not a good look...I was in his corner earlier but I would never buy anything
from him now...even if he resurrects the earlier razors that made him famous.
