For the past week, I have been using my newly acquired Paradigm 17-4 and today I decided to switch back to my RS-10. These two razors have a lot in common. They are the two smoothest, but most brutally efficient razors I have in my collection. They are both very special insofar as they deliver a near one-pass DFS and require nearly no touch ups after the second pass. I am a big fan of the Blackbird, but it has a lot more blade feel and requires a lot more attention to get the same quality shave. The only real difference between the 17-4 and the RS-10 is the blade choice. I have found the Feather + Mild plate is the magic combination with the RS-10 and my old faithful Gillette Nacets seem to work best in the Paradigm. Both razors delivery an effortless and super close shave...what more could a person ask for?

Email update received this morning. 55 pre-orders made. The next step will be invoices for the deposits. Will need at least 50 deposits before manufacturing commences.

I received my invoice for the 50% down payment yesterday...I wonder how many people on the original list will follow through and make the deposit. I guess he is leaving the window open for deposits for 10 days and will only move forward after receiving 50 deposits...it will be interesting.
