Энди из Парадигмы и Мохаммад из GD объявили о создании совсместного проекта Apogee Razors и разработке первого совместного DE станка "Opus One".
Paradigm:
Hi, fellow DFS members. Yes, you read that right: Mohammad and I are working on a release of a DE razor. We have been talking about combining resources for a couple of years now, and we are going ahead.
What this means for Paradigm is that the Javelin is being placed on hold for the time being. Much as I love titanium, it's just too expensive to produce -- and to purchase. A big part of the purpose of the collaboration is to end the "unobtainium" aspect of Paradigm razors. So the razor will be in stainless, a "daily driver" type, with a price tag that should be in the range of anybody on this forum. I don't want to get into specifics just yet, because things always change, subject mainly to design and machining requirements. But when things firm up, I guarantee I will be back out here with the information.
The combined brand is Apogee, and this razor is being called the Opus One.
I want to take the opportunity to thank everybody who has supported Paradigm with purchases, reviews, and good will. Apogee will return that with an outstanding, affordable, razor that you can actually get your hands on. Wink
Please feel free to ask questions or to comment, that's what we are here for. I know Mohammad is weighing in, and both of us will be keeping an eye on the thread.
Grooming Dept:
I’m thrilled that we now sharing with you Apogee Razors and our first razor, the Opus One.
I have known Andrew for a couple of years now. We’ve had many conversations about razor designs and their functionalities. Over time we’ve come to the realization that we both have a passion to innovate.

П.С. Титановый "Javelin" от Paradigm отложен в долгий ящик.
