Not I. My first post on this forum, I think. I'm curious about how many here ordered this razor and are still waiting for it to be shipped, or even for any information about when it might be shipped. I placed my order on August 12 at 1:58 a.m. WCS time. I know from some posts here that the razors weren't shipped out in the sequence the orders were received, because some people in this thread who placed their orders after I did have already gotten their razors. I'd like to know how WCS determined the shipping order.
This razor had better operate itself on autopilot and deliver the best shave in the history of mankind after the repeated delays and completely unacceptable, unprofessional communication and shipping from WCS. If WCS had stated up front that they had no idea when the razors would be ready, and that you just give them your money and wait in the dark for an indefinite period of time, it'd be different. But multiple updates on expected ship times that have turned out to be incorrect, and no updates for the past several weeks have used up my patience. I've written it off. I figure since I've already paid for it, I'll wait another month or two and then just cancel the order and tell them to reverse the charge on my card. If the razor shows up in the meantime, fine. If not, I don't particularly want it any more.
I got one of the stainless DLC Lupo razors from RazorRock a few weeks after ordering the Paradigm. I can say without a doubt that if I'd had the Lupo for a week or two before the Paradigm was announced, and if I'd known how this Paradigm project was going to play out, there's no way I would have plunked down 240 bucks for a razor that has become a series of broken promises. The Lupo probably gives the best shave of any razor I've ever used considering closeness and ease of use. I can get equally close shaves faster with an R41, but it can be hazardous. I can get equally comfortable, safe shaves with lots of other razors, but none that I can think of will shave as close as the Lupo without a lot more work. The steel Lupo combines closeness and comfort like no other that I've used. I have the aluminum version too, and it's also a great shaver. But the steel version is amazing. That Diamondback has a tall order ahead of it to match the steel Lupo, let alone beat it.
Sorry for a first post that consists of whining on a soapbox. But how about it boys and girls. How many here are waiting on your Diamondback to be delivered?
