Looks a lot like the DS-OR that supposedly came out in April.
Not sure if DS is copying, or Paradigm picking from an existing catalogue.
Paradigm Salient 316?

He can't get a North American Mfg'r because he's a financial mess after he tried to bilk Bullgoose out of 10K last year!! His reputation took a major knock for being so dishonest. I give big kudo's for Phil calling him out after being caught in lie after lie...
Obviously U S made High Proof razor is skeletal in design but I give them credit for sending me a silver blemished for $69 and I could not find one defect.
So it would seem that Paradigm oversold razors and have sent out emails asking if people would like to wait minimum of 2 weeks for a razor or a refund.... That's one way of raising capitol to make razors!! I remember a Canadian Mfg'r that did that in the past and it didn't go so well for him at all. Lost a lot of customers because of it.
By my estimation razors, (if he even had any on hand when they went on sale), should start showing up in the next day or two...

I ordered mine before the 12pm release time that was announced and I never got a shipping email. I figure that I must have been one of the first ones to buy one since most people were probably waiting for 12pm.
So you haven't received a shipping notice yet? What's it been 4-5 working days and no shipping yet?
That's right. I highly doubt they all sold out before the announced release time, unless he only had a tiny number of razors.
I still want the razor, so I'll wait.
So did you get the other 2 emails about the oversell?
I only got the first one about the delay.
The Razor company listed the Paradigm Salient as sold out, but restocking soon.
eBay has a few listed.

I was looking at the Salient a couple days ago while browsing. To me it looks pretty generic and overpriced. Definitely not like the older Paradigm's! I do buy certain Chinese things but a $120 razor seems a little steep.
The Aylsworth Kopperkant sells for $99 and is also made in China. To me it seems like a more compelling design.
Regardless I will be following this thread to see how people like it!

So has anyone received a razor from Paradigm yet? I have only seen 1 razor so far in the wild and yet seen several people say they purchased one...
So no one has received the razor they ordered from the release? @ShavingPanda @shaveSymptomatic You guys received yours yet?
I didn't order one. Thought about it then decided to wait for reviews as it was mentioned to be a regularly available item.
Not yet. Could be several weeks.
My God, what a debacle this is turning in to. . . . .
Ehhh
, while it would have been nice to have gotten it immediately, it's not the end of the world. I have more than enough razors to hold me down in the mean time.Curious,Ehhh
When you all purchased, did you know the wait would be weeks?
Actually no, they were to have been in stock!!
No, muzichead is correct. I thought they'd show up as "out of stock" once the available units sold out.
I haven't canceled my order since I still want the razor and can wait a few weeks, but it does suck.
