I am super pleased with end result and think it looks killer. It turned out better than I could have expected and looks better in person than in the pictures. Anyway, here are some photos of my "new" brushed Paradigm SE.

Great work. It looks soooooo much better with the brushed finish.

Well, I went ahead and did it.
I ordered blades almost a week after though (completely forgot) so the first run won't be for another week, probably.
A pack of Feather Pro Supers were included, but I'd like to start with the Schick Prolines and then the Feather Pro's, rather than jumping straight to the most aggressive option.

Initially, I'm very impressed with the quality of the build, and that sliding cap is a pretty dam cool idea. I'll definitely take a page out of NJDJ's book though, and plan to give it a satin/brushed finish.

Cheers for the months of reviews and discussions that made the purchase an easier one to make.

Congratulations on your acquisition it's great to use the schick as well as the feather super it's like having 2 different base plates in one razor

Bear in mind the Supers are thicker, Paradigm themselves don’t recommend them. I tried them but decided it’s not worth the risk

A bunch of people with this razor have been using the Supers since the release of it. I have had it since it was first released and have been using Feather Supers since I got it and have had zero issues. I received this razor around the same time as I got the Blackland Vector and use the Supers in this razor and the Schick Prolines in the Vector. These 2 razors are neck and neck with the blades that I use in each. The Paradigm is slightly smoother but the efficiency is identical. You will truly enjoy this razor and using the Feather Super is amazing in it!

Supers work fine. Even Andy posted somewhere that they will work fine in the production razor. I think it was his prototype razor that did not accept the supers for some reason.

No need to fear monger - look at post 386 and 388 in this thread. He confirms it WILL work.
