I suspect that this is a matter of opinion as I own Wolfman and H&S razors and the Paradigm Ti-2 beats both of these brands. The Paradigm Ti-2 is a smooth and highly efficient razor for me. Plus, it is a beautifully crafted razor, especially the first release that has the tapered handle, like the Ti-1 (which I also own). I admire and hope that Paradigm Shaveware has future razor releases as their head/blade geometry suits my shaving style and beard quite well.
Thankfully, I am not a collector, but do have a serious collection of what are now considered rare razors that are all to be passed on to my son when I can no longer shave with the caveat that they are not sold and are only to be passed to other family members. He likes my straight razor collection the best. He doesn't even know I have razors like a first batch LASSCo BBS-1 tucked away for him.
