So the email offering this razor starting May 25. Surprised me. I had no idea paradigm was still making razors.
The Paradigm web site's product page for this razor explicitly says "MADE IN CHINA" at the bottom.Has Andy said that it is made in China or are the comments above just supposition? Not that it matters - the quality and performance are all that counts.
Couldn’t be clearer. Thanks.The Paradigm web site's product page for this razor explicitly says "MADE IN CHINA" at the bottom.
For $120 I'd say it's worth a shot.
Might turn out to be the best Chinese razor till date.
Chinese are capable of building quality products.
But they don’t seem to have much innovation, making clones, and copycat's is specialty.
Andy said this is not a limited release.I only hope he releases more than the usual 100 razors that help drive the resale value up artificially!!
Weeeellll, dunno 'bout that. I just received my Boti Gem-blade carrier, complete with full round post and locating posts 3mm too far forward. I'm supposed to be receiving a new head with, "next month's run..." We shall see.Going by the Apple example it's an arrangement that might work.
Design and thinking come from Cupertino, Foxconn China just executes
well.
No reason to believe that this arrangement won't work for Paradigm as well.
We shall find out for sure in the near future I'm sure, but I'm not holding my breath on this as history tells a very different story!!Andy said this is not a limited release.

I'm only a fan of Chinese mfg for single use tools, anything else is a big gamble.
Paradigm has never engraved their name on any of their razors... As far as WCS and being transparent, history shows with the past releases of CG designed razors that they were all Mfg'd in China so I don't understand why everyone is so bent because he never disclosed it in the description!! The price alone told me it was Mfg'd in China...At least Paradigm is transparent. My two emails to West Coast Shaving requesting country of origin for their new $180 razor (before discounts) have been ignored.
My only reservation about buying the new razor: Is Paradigm stamped anywhere on it?
