Paradigm Shaveware and Grooming Dept To Collaborate On Apogee Razors

Sweet!
Can’t wait to see what you two have come up with!!!!

Hi, fellow DFS members. Yes, you read that right: Mohammad and I are working on a release of a DE razor. We have been talking about combining resources for a couple of years now, and we are going ahead.

What this means for Paradigm is that the Javelin is being placed on hold for the time being. Much as I love titanium, it's just too expensive to produce -- and to purchase. A big part of the purpose of the collaboration is to end the "unobtainium" aspect of Paradigm razors. So the razor will be in stainless, a "daily driver" type, with a price tag that should be in the range of anybody on this forum. I don't want to get into specifics just yet, because things always change, subject mainly to design and machining requirements. But when things firm up, I guarantee I will be back out here with the information.

The combined brand is Apogee, and this razor is being called the Opus One.

I want to take the opportunity to thank everybody who has supported Paradigm with purchases, reviews, and good will. Apogee will return that with an outstanding, affordable, razor that you can actually get your hands on.

Please feel free to ask questions or to comment, that's what we are here for. I know Mohammad is weighing in, and both of us will be keeping an eye on the thread.

Hello, sir.
I waited very hard for the Javelin razor
for me, your news is a little sad.

You won't be disappointed with what we have in store for you. There are many reasons why our first razor is called Opus One

There will definitely be a more aggressive version. Shavers of all styles will be accommodated. 

Congrats guys.  You are two of my favorite vendors.  Andrew - does this mean most of your time will go to the new venture going forward, or is this just for the Opus One project?

I am so much looking forward to this razor!

This is awesome!
So glad to see more new stuff coming out to support the shaving community!

That's is the spirit

I have enjoyed working with you. I can't wait for your razor to come to the market. It's an awesome design. Mazel tov!

This is very exciting news. Reaching a wider audience and combining creative forces are excellent motives for this joint venture. Also, you have chosen wisely to build upon the core values that have contributed to the successes each of you have already achieved individually. Best wishes on this latest adventure! I’m sure many well-meaning folks are enthusiastically rooting for your success.
