Good point. I am indeed speaking of the Blackland offering. Your input however, is still greatly appreciated.One of the fellows at dfs, who has both rates the original Tradere OC as more aggressive than the Wolfman .86.
I have #34 of the original Tradere run.
The only thing I have that is more toothy is a Le Coq cage-comb, which I believe may be more aggressive than others, as its guards are both more round than oblong. I can with minimal pressure insert a 1/4" dowel behind them, and they almost perfectly follow the dowel's curve. The other 2 that I have handled stuck out further, i.e., more an egg curve than a ball. I cannot say which would be closer to stock.
I would be surprised if you find something with more blade feel & contact than an original Tradere. If you're talking Blackland, that's a different discussion.
In that case, I would say go Wolfman. Everything I've read about Blackland's Tradere is comparatively unremarkable, in that price range. Not in any way demeaning their product, but the original is still uniquely unique.Good point. I am indeed speaking of the Blackland offering. Your input however, is still greatly appreciated.

They look like similar head designs to me.
I can put your curiosity to rest...they couldn't be more different, design-wise.
Don't know about performance...would never fork out Tradere money just to find out.
Wolfman, would recommend highly, as long as you hit your ideal gap on the first go,
it's now some sort of a shaving bargain.
Out of curiosity, do you mean a bargain based on B&B economics in that if you hit it on the first go you don't need to keep getting back on the list to buy more ?
I had Tradere OC and Wolfman WR1 .67 OC. I would say that they are approximately equal in terms of aggressiveness.
