Paradigm SE

Very lucky to have been loaned this Paradigm SE.

Lovely design and quality.
Nice weight for a Ti.
Two days growth gone in two passes.

Shame that I only have Schick blades in the den as it would have been nice to try a few different blade, whilst I have the razor.

Maybe I need to do a bit of shopping so I've got some feathers by the weekend 🤔

My first use of a slant razor today thanks to the kind loan from @semajohn and I can’t tell whether I love it or not! I love the way the blade clamped so rigidly and the resulting shave which was smooth and close but all the way through using it I never felt I quite got the angle right, it felt like I was always a little off. It’s definitely a me rather than the razor issue but I can’t argue with the results, BBS and I’ve stayed stubble free for as long as some of the most aggressive razors I’ve used but with none of the irritation! Very impressive.

Keep at it - I've only used mine once before a few more goodies came in, but it wasn't my first slant and like all razors, they just get better with practice. :)

Razor: Reggie’s Razor Titan
Blade: Astra SP, 1st use
Brush: Knothead Brush Works 26mm AP Shave Co. Synbad
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Nanny’s Silly Soap Moroccan Sands Croap

My first shave with the Titan and I found it delightful. I found it a mid aggressive head yet very smooth, with a touch of blade feel. You could definitely tell the blade was there, but it was less noticeable than say a Blackbird or Green Cult. It delivered a BBS with ease, I’d say I was pleasantly surprised! The lightness of the razor made it feel nimble but care is still needed as I’m sure it will bite given half the chance. I’d say it’s a tad too efficient for me to use as a daily shaver but only just. I’m impressed! Thanks to @Boycie83 and @Reggie’s Razors for arranging the passaround.
