Paradigm Ti II Arrived. Pics and Review

I guess there was a secret release today... these type of things turn me off of companies. Be fair with everyone.

What? I thought we were told March? Man... that sucks!

I wouldn’t call 5 razors a “release”. Same thing happened with the 17-4. After the original batch finally sold out a few would trickle out here and there.

You don’t tell your potential future customers march then go and do a secret release. He should’ve reported that 5 more razors where coming on the market or hold them back for the March release.

Fair enough. I would encourage you to share you thoughts will the vendor in question, and Andy at paradigm. Just my 2 cents.

Folks. I specifically asked Bullgoose NOT to sell those five until the mid-March shipment. There was material remaining for five more razors. Actually, there was only enough for five heads. The handles were left over from Titanium I, and we had them mirror polished.

There was nothing "secret" about it. IMO, it was ill-timed and sure to provoke resentment. I will never, ever, pull that fake supply shortage thing or have "secret releases." You can take that to the bank.

Once I sell a razor to a vendor, it is out of my control. Bullgoose went against my express wishes on this. But I don't have some complicated contract with him or something. He's going to do what he wants.

Not that my opinion matters, but having dealt with both Andy and Bullgoose... I believe everything Andy says regarding these 5 razors released. Andy has been nothing but accommodating to me personally (even when I had some trouble with a razor)... On top of being one of the more innovative guys in our community, I believe he is also honest and sincere (I'm sorry but I can't say the same about Bullgoose). I look forward to the March release!

Refreshing to see a vendour taking the time to respond to some question on the forum, and for that I thank you.

Looking forward to the release in March. I already own a Stainless Steel 17-4 but the razors are that good that I would consider a Ti version if offered again.

Again thanks for taking the time to respond.

You don't listen to customers ... you don't have customers.

SOTD. Decided to compare all 3 Paradigms in one shave. Lots of fun. Awesome shave.
