I’ve owned multiple Paradigm razors. I will pass on this one, there is nothing compelling for me here.
My $70 Merica and $60 Western Razor are made in the USAParadigm 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...
Yet neither one of those are CG designed razors so why even bring them up?My $70 Merica and $60 Western Razor are made in the USA
Why is it people can't have their own opinion on an open forum? I'm not buying it because of the dishonest business practices Andy has!! That's probably the real reason he couldn't get an American Mfg'r to make his razors and forced him off shore...Imagine coming to a thread just to say: Im NOT buying this razor.
Is this some sort of weird attention-seeking flex?
A little grace would not be out of place here.
Im buying it because I think we should encourage talented razor
makers to stay in business. The razor may be made in china and
the really low price from the maker of the legendary Paradigm
reflects the provenance.
不食周栗......
Oops, meant to say that if it's NOT marketed as being made in the US, then it's made in China.I always assume that if it's marketed as being made in the US, it's made in China.
I brought up those razors because we were discussing prices USA VS China. CG designed would matter if the new Liberty razor by ECS was made in America or Canada.Yet neither one of those are CG designed razors so why even bring them up?
I like good things, no bordersI was waiting to see when someone would bring that up and was not disappointed.
There are always two sides to a story and I heard what the bullgoose owner said.
I did not hear Paradigm's account and quite frankly I don't care.
Im in this for good razors...all business has shenanigans going on...I leave all
that out of my decision making process...if it turns out that a razor has been
brought to market under egregious proceedings such as engaging child labour
(eg. the shoe with a swoosh), then I would be moved to not buy. Otherwise,
I don't care (needs to be said twice).
There was 2 sides to the story and it was all documented over on DFS.... He could make the best product in the world but if he lies and gets caught like he did over the transaction with Phil he doesn't deserve my money or anyone else's in my opinion!!I was waiting to see when someone would bring that up and was not disappointed.

You made your point.He doesn't deserve yours for sure...the rest of us can think for ourselves, thanks!
Anyone jump in and buy one on opening day?
