    Hello friends,
    I see this DE is described as a game changer in all the other forums, but from what I could see, there are no comments here. Luckily I bought one of the last remaining at Bullgoose and it's my absolute fave YMMV. It combines a level of smoothness and effectiveness I've never seen on any other DE or SE for that matter.
    Any comments please?

    The 17-4 is unique in my den, for one simple reason: it's the only mild DE razor I have that can deliver a truly close and long-lasting shave. Otherwise, the efficiency of my DE razors is a direct function of the blade-forwardness (aka, "aggressiveness") of the razor. I have a few razors that are a tad more efficient than the 17-4, but they all have significantly greater blade feel.

    In total agreement, the smoothness and effectiveness of the shaving of this Paradigm 17-4 SS is unique. a great success to buy it.

    my top 3 are Paradigm, wolfman(s) and blackbird. Might buy a titanium if they become available again.

    I already have my new handle for the Paradigm 17-4, but I still like the original and I personally do well and has an acceptable grip. This handle Stork An14 has very good grip and will serve me for other razors.[​IMG]

    The handle I use with mine is the Stork Taipan in Titanium.
