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.

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.

По латунным станкам  озвучили мнение, что их Брайн делает с целью распродать запас латунных ручек. Закончатся ручки - закончатся головы. 

Очень жаль, если так.

right now there are no leads for a commercial space for my business, so the plan will be to move any remaining equipment into storage around october. Hopefully I'll locate something by February, but Charcoal will probably go dark for about 5 months. just no way around that. the new house is so small there isn't even room for a home office!

I've already sold my prized CNC lathe (machine that makes the handles)

I'll probably do a liquidation sale of the remaining brass/copper handles in september. I'm hoping to machine more of the everyday razor heads in stainless, but I won't have stainless handles for them. no lathe to make them. Things are changing very quickly so if you ask me again a week from now plans will have changed again.
