Prototype of new Paradigm SE

Got this Pic from Andy on another site and wanted to show it here

Those corners look dangerous.

Just initial prototype pic. Andy said he would guarantee that it will not tear you up

Yeah, that's just a mock-up. AC blade doesn't look like that, anyway. I'll have some pix in the not too distant future of actual prototypes.

Andy,
No hope for a GEM? I know you said under the microscope AC blades look better than a GEM...

I have a lot of Gem razors modern and vintage and I agree that the Gem blade is not as sharp as the AC SE ones or even as good as a DE blade. A razor is as good as the blade it's using, so why design a razor around a lesser blade when there are so many better ones? The final outcome will be better for it.

Love that an AC is pending. I would like to volunteer for any prototype testing

Seriously though - handle options would be much appreciated. ‘Magnum’ style (longer thicker handle) or comparing the mongoose vs colonial ‘the general’ to name a couple modern ones have a very different hand feel due to weight and size.

That's all a matter of opinion. There are plenty of people out there who feel that the GEM blade is the best for their skin and beard type.

A GEM blade outlasts any artist club blade IMO. Sharper? Use a GEM PTFE blade in a micromatic open comb and get back to me on that one.
