I shaved with my Ti Diamondback this morning, and I thought about this comment from vtmax. I was underwhelmed by the Overlander in both aluminum and brass, and the Ti Diamondback definitely has better efficiency for me.

I apologize for this misunderstanding. I explained this under another thread. I only saw the picture of Paradigm Salient after entering this thread, so I commented on the mellow and was only referring to its handle appearance. I'll delete it to avoid any misunderstanding. Thanks for the reply.

The Paradigm Ti Diamondback is kind of in a category of its own.  Smooth, efficient, good looking and really reasonably priced.  

Probably not a better Ti price to performance ratio razor out there. 

Most importantly - I think for many it hits 75% of the market.  Similar efficiency to a Ti WR2 1.25, smooth as anything that will give you a BBS and yet  it leaves your skin and beard in shape for a shave in 24-48 hours.   

I’ve compared it extensively with the Ti2 and RS10.  It really is just a little more efficient and yet almost as smooth as the previously mentioned.

Agreed DB Ti super ultra smooth shaver better than most out there and even Tedalus in comparison!

I recently completed four back to back sessions with the Paradigm Ti Diamondback. The combination of face feel, efficiency, and aesthetics are excellent. I had largely resigned myself to not owning a Diamondback, until Andy released the Ti version. I feel fortunate to now have one in my collection. And it is incredibly difficult to imagine ever parting with it.

Today I was faced with 4 days of growth...very gnarly wiry tough.
Did not think the DB Ti would do the trick...just on a lark, I loosened the handle about 3/4 of a turn.
Very good results...got more efficiency and bade feel....and blade stayed stable as ever.

I've seen this hack for other razors but not sure if its been discussed for DB.

Would love to see the Ti2 make a comeback. It's a wonderful razor.

I gave this a try on my last shave, and it definitely dialed up the blade feel and efficiency a bit. It was interesting to experiment with different settings, and the handle shape made it very easy to track how much I had unscrewed the handle.
