jjgold, which blade do you use with it?I can't compare the two. I can tell you however that I own a Tradere SB. It is by far the best shaving razor I have ever used compared to the other 5-6 vintage and new ones tried. It is the best for me by a landslide. I have never had such a soft face after some AOS Sandalwood or Mike's Natural with the the Tradere driving. I have a very thick tough beard as well. My .02.
