Paradigm Shaveware The Diamondback

Do you know whether these razor manufacturers like Paradigm, Wolfman, Razorock etc. have their own CNC machines or they are hiring a shop to build razors for themselves?

DuFour processes raw stock and poops jewelry. It's all him, and only him, with his machines.

Based on my dealing with Andy, repairing a faulty 17-4, he subs his work out to a machine shop. I mailed my 17-4 directly to his machinist. Things could be different for the Diamondback.

I'm almost certain Blackland subs all of his machine work and finishing. Shane is easily accessible to answer for himself.

Timeless is run by a family that owns a machine shop. There is more than one of them. They produce much more than just razors.

The CG guy, Brian, I believe, is ala DuFour. It's the product of one man's hands and his tools. I'm relatively certain this is the case, but I don't follow him. I could be wrong.

Brian is charcoal goods. All of it.

Thanks for this detail reply. That is pretty cool, lots of them have own machine shop, they know what they are doing.
I know Rocnel also has his own machine shop, too. Mostly he is making car parts and might be gun parts (i remembered he did before, but I am not sure for now), too.

As far as I know Andy is Paradigm - hope his relationship with WCS works out for him

Are there any shaving reports available yet on this razor other than the one put out by WCS?

Sold out in WCS

i must have been one of the last buyers. Paradigm will carry it though hopefully at same price. i

I didn’t jump on in time but I’m in for sure on the second release.

Congrats to Andy at Paradigm for the presale sell out. Looking forward to the initial reviews once it ships.

Just saw on FB an SOTD post with a Paradigm Diamondback. Did WCS already started shipping?

I don’t believe so. It’s possible it was one of the early ones available to WCS or their contributors. A couple of weeks I believe is when shipping will happen and then the subsequent second release. I could be wrong so don’t quote me on that. I like the way it looks in photos. And some of the side profile shots show some increased congruency in the cap/ baseplate surfaces that clamp the blade which appeals to me.
