Please Optometrist, in England customs are paid when buying this paradigm? or is importation free? Thank you

I'll be interested to hear how you get on with it. I'm tempted to buy one but I'm just waiting on a few more reviews before I pull the trigger.
I hope you get on with it.

I had to pay customs, yes. VAT, Import Duty and Royal Mail totalled £50.87.

Thanks, I thought there was some agreement with USA, and you did not pay for imports.
As my son is living in London, I was going to ask him to buy it for me and bring it to Barcelona, but I better do it directly with Bullgoose.
Thanks and Merry Cristhmas, Optometrist.

Hi Rob
I will give it a couple shaves with a deferent stubble growth, don’t like to
form an opinion on just the first shave. As soon as I can will let you know.

I wish, but unfortunately not. Anything over £15 attracts a fee, unless you're lucky enough to have it slip through.
Merry Christmas to you, also

The Paradigm seems to have had a curious boost in hype recently so I’m very much interesting in how you find it, David. I’m probably not alone in that I’d rather see it distributed differently but thanks for being an early adopter. Are you still enjoying the Level 2 Sabre?

My duke 3 returned from Germany after receiving a new knot from shavemac. Got myself a haslinger as well.

 

[YMMV]

Yaqi 30mm synthetic arrived a few days ago (next to a Maggards 30mm synthetic)

Quite a bit of difference in 30mm! The Maggards is much bigger!

 

[YMMV]

Yes there is difference! Here is another one. From Left to Right: Maggards 30mm, Yaqi 30mm, Edwin Jagger XL 25mm v2 synthetic fibre.
Maybe the difference it due to sample variation, I do not know.
