Paradigm Shaveware The Diamondback

This razor is born of the javelin. The javelin prototypes were released and feedback taken from users to make the changes that resulted in this razor.

I honestly cannot understand why this razor is more expensive than 17-4.

I am quite disappointed myself and here I was looking forward to buying whatever came of the Javelin; unfortunately will have to pass on principle.

Have you guys seen the razor market these days? Why is he guilty of anything other than pricing according to market standards?

I have no qualms with this for other. Just for myself I have a dislike of such practice. I would never dissuade others based on my own personal belief as this is probably an amazing razor. Guess what I am getting at is to each his own as I highly doubt the negative sentiment here or even my own personal feelings would affect the purchase of said razor at all. The razors thus far are excellent and I am sure this one shall be as well and as always will sell out relatively quickly.

Do you have any feedback comparing the razors performance to other razors?

Handle looks good and continues the Paradigm “look” but no mention of its length.

I went to the contact page on the Paradigm website and asked about the handle length. It’s 92mm. I guess I’ll pass on this one.

It’s curious. The price seems high for not being polished like a Blackland BB but being made of the same material.

Judging by the very poorly written and overly informative description, I wonder if some of the costs of experimentation (and mistakes) are being lumped into the cost of this razor.

Does WCS offer a 30 day trial period? I can’t see this being a step up on something like the Blackbird or GC for some people. It’s a tough spot.

What's market standard?
316L RR GC for $57? 316L Wolfman around $500? Timeless Ti for $225? 316L RAW RS10 for $365? 316L PAA for $80?

Can you give me a price range? In my opinion, every company has their own price range, and that is OK.

I have all five razors listed above and I am fine with their prices.  
Since I don't know (1) how much they spent for research, (2) how many razors they will manufacture, and (3) how much their exact cost is. 

Everybody has own standards, that is fine for me. 
However, I am not happy that one of them makes quality or manufacture cost lower than his previous models, then cost me more!  
That is not a good sign!

Agreed.
