Paradigm releasing a new razor

I agree with Southsider  The Diamondback 2020 is one of my top two razors as it provides what I look for in a razor these days. A good amount of efficiency/effectiveness and smoothness. If I were to be super critical it’s a little bit handle heavy at the bottom but it’s really nothing that affects the great shaves I get with it. The Ti version to me will give it the weight and balance I prefer in a razor nowadays and also will also make it even more maneuverable than the SS which is a plus for the technique I use.

No comparison here between the  Diamondback and the Blackbird but I never really got along with the  Blackland Blackbird SS and I tried quite a few of them over the years  but  I really enjoy the Ti Version. Not always but in this case the metal made a big difference in the characteristics of the BB for me.

So I have high hopes for the Diamondback Ti and can’t wait to get mine. I’ve been a fan of the brand since the Ti 1 came out for both looks and performance.

Good move Andrew.

I was very excited when I saw the email the other day I didnt even think twice.  I sold my diamond back about a year or so ago when I got rid of most of my other SS razors.  Im anxious to see the polish, I thought H&Sco Ti polished razors at 400 were reasonable, but a Ti DB polished at 265 seems like a steal.

The part that made me jump in on this bandwagon was Jake Yates’ involvement

I agree

Ordered

I think they're good razors; it truly depends on your preferences.

I had Ti2, which has neutral exposure and is a nice razor for those who prefer a mild, no-blade feel.

DB is more like a daily or every other day razor with positive exposure. RS10A is very similar. I don't shave daily, so I sold it.

Ti1 is aggressive compared to his other razors, yet it is also smooth. But because Blackbird Ti gives me a better cutting angle and a more comfortable shave, I didn't want to keep pricey Ti1.

The BST values do not improve the performance of a razor for me. They are simply rare. However, it increases the demand.

Every geometry ever made had positive exposure so far from Paradigm.  Confirmed by Andy.  

Guys, this sale won’t run much longer and he’s almost near the limit for the first run.  If you are on the fence, you probably have a day to order.

I’m in! Love the Salient, looking forward to the DB.

I hope Paradigm will take a leaf out of the playbook that Blackland used for launching their Osprey.
Doesn't have to be slick videos either.

But it would be a heartening boost to Paradigm's credibility and customer confidence to get
regular updates on the DB 2024 Ti's progress....preferably accompanied by photographs.

This is a good release at an affordable price.
Rather than re-releasing, I'd like to see newer razors like Javelin or an aggressive version of SE.

Didn't the Javelin design morph into the Salient?

You guys got me... Put in my order last night.
Can't see anything replacing my BB, but won't know till I try!

One for me and one for my friend. I like Paradigm razors)

Thank you all for the tremendous outpouring of support on this release. I will post updates on the progress.

Just a heads up. There are only seven razors remaining for purchase in this run, and the sale price will close down tomorrow. So if you are interested, now is the time!

Six razors remaining.

Over in Ireland visiting family in a pub right now having dinner. I ‘loaned’ my 2020 Diamondback to my brother over here and never got it back. Looking forward to the titanium release!
