Paradigm Shaveware Titanium Single Edge Razor

I mostly agree with Gus. Mine arrived in good shape but only in the bubble mailer and it was sent First Class, not Priority. I agree that double boxing should be expected but I'm glad I'm paying for a razor and not a fancy box that will just get tossed. .

On the razor itself I'm impressed. Two shaves in with a Proline and I've had two of the most comfortable shaves in my life. I don't think I could cut or scrape myself if I tried with this razor. The angle is nearly automatic and the razor glides like it's on bearings. It's a complete win with me, though with more shaves I could always change my opinion.

The blade change mechanism is clever easy and the fit and finish simply doesn't get any better. Maybe Wolfman has better finishing but that's a different category.

I do wish that the handle had grip on all four sides instead of two and a half but I'll adjust. I'm also not a fan of a square handle section but at the same time I'm a big fan of the goose neck design because I think that really adds to the ergonomics and keeping the blade at the correct angle during shaving.

I bought this razor half thinking that I'd be returning it within the 30 day window. Already I can say that I'll be keeping it.

No things changed here using the Feather Professional. A little bit harsh blade. I prefer a lot the Kai Titan: sharper and smoother. With the Feather Pro, Paradigm reminded me to the Blackland Sabre L1.
Three whole passes again. But, well, I love the mild feeling which this razor gives to me.

I tried a Feather super Pro tonight and it was still extremely smooth. I did my normal WTG, XTG,and ATG and it was extremely smooth and I was DFS in 2 passes but went ATG to get a very good BBS. Only issue so far is that the little balls are now leaving a good scratch mark on the underside of the top cap.

Since those balls are under spring tension and intentionally are designed to place upward pressure on the cap I think the formation of a line under the cap is a foregone conclusion. I see it with mine a little as well

Would either of you two gentlemen be able to post a photo of this so-called line, please? It would be interesting to see the results, especially, after a year or two. Thank you.

Got shave 2 in yesterday evening with the Paradigm. Decided to switch out the Kai Titan Pink and go with a Schick Proline on it’s first use. Did my normal shower and prep and got on with the shave. I happened to receive a shipment today of a new soap for me, Lisa’s Natural Herbal Creations, Amber & Tobacco and Haute Leather. It was Haute Leather that was up for the shave and it was on.

Except for the soap, I changed nothing else in terms of how I was going to shave and attack the whiskers. I went with the same ATG/XTG hybrid passes as it seemed to work well with the initial shave. I have to say that the Proline was a nice step up in shave feel and performance. The first ATG pass knocked down quite a bit of the stubble. The Lisa’s soap provided a nice, creamy lather that was protective and yielded a nice smooth glide for the razor while still having some residual slickness that allowed a quick repass or two on a couple of spots. Very nice. The scent was nice, not strong or overpowering with a leather and like a hand lotion type and a light earthy undertone scent that was pleasant and played well together. The second pass XTG hybrid was just as good as the first and pretty much cleaned up anything that was left behind from the first pass. The razor is incredibly smooth and mild yet has a nice efficiency to it and it felt better with the blade change. Finished my 2 passes with a quality, near BBS finish minus a tough spot on Sir Adam. Always a challenge there for any razor. I don’t chase Sir Adam much, a quick pass or two and what I get, that’s what I get. A quick cold water splash and face rub and I was good to go. The Lisa’s gave a nice post shave feel that left my face nicely hydrated and soft. Good performance for a first timer and the accolades that this soap has garnered are pretty much well deserved and earned imo.

Now, I’m writing this at about 6:30 in the morning and my shave was at about 7 pm last night and I already have a light, steady growth of stubble appearing where it usually comes back first with all my shaves, the jawline. The 5 O’Clock shadow was nearly in. Not patches but, uniform stubble that leads up to just about below my ear lobe and very light growth on both of the burns. I noticed this also on my first shave with the Kai that I had a very quick grow back of stubble and had my shadow within 7 hours of the shave. I find this perplexing as I felt both shaves were quality shaves and left my skin clear of hair and any stragglers. Neither shave has given me a single nic, cut, weeper nor any irritation to speak of but, I’m not getting the quality of longevity that I would normally get associated with a quality shave from others like the Vector, El Jefe, SS/Brass General and the Claymore. I won’t mention the Rx as there are only 1 or 2 that I’ve mentioned here that can nearly match it on shave quality and longevity. Then again, on the milder feeling razors I practically use Feather Pro Supers exclusively to give me the results that I get from the more efficient/aggressive razors. I think I’ll give a Proline another shave and see how that works out and if the results are the same then, it’s time to step it up with the Howitzer of AC Blades, the Feather Pro Super.

I’m actually going to do a quick 1 pass shave again and freshen up as I have the day off to take care of some personal things. More shaves and experimentation ahead Gents....

From earlier this morning. And yes, still nearly DFS after almost 11 hours.

Nailed it!!


As close to perfection as I have encountered with a razor and blade combo. The Pro Super was the exact ticket that I needed with the Ti SE in achieving an amazingly close BBS finish that was smooth and deliciously efficient. Truly an amazing combo that must be experienced to believe. Now, lets hope that I can get a full days worth of faceturbating smoothness. If I can get to the 10 hour mark, that’s good enough for me...

I had to go out of town but when I return I will post a pic

When I disassembled mine for a wipe down the line became faint and almost disappeared. Maybe it’s related to the metal balls gliding over some soap residue. There does not appear or feel to be any type of indentation or scratch. Over time though I’d suspect to see a wear mark of some sort.
