An interesting read – a review of the Paradigm Razor

Remember my rant from a couple of days ago?

A trusted source – ie: a wetshaver whos integrity and common sense I trust, even if I do on occation disagree with his conclusions – have done a review on the Paradigm Razor.

Among several interesting tidbits is high praise for the design – the use of a bar instead of pins to lick the blade is pointed out – as well as praise for the shave (after a little bit of adjustment due to the low weight). The difficulty of machining Ti is also pointed out.

You can do a lot worse the next five minutes than to pop over to the Sharpologist and read the review. And once you’ve done that, you can find even more reviews of the Paradigm over on my favourite shave forum.
