Tradere SB

[drlvegas]

Had my first shave with it this morning & really liked it. A few spots I missed a little, but I think I'll have it down in a few more shaves. First run was with my usual tester--Astra SP, but I'll try Gillette blacks & Polsilver SI's right away.

For me, it's more mild than the Weber--maybe because I have the Weber classic which is a bit heavier than the bulldog handle.

I may have to order a UFO Kaiser--looks like it would be perfect for this head.

The Weber classic handle is the same weight as the Weber bulldog handle -- I have both; they feel different with the different weights, and depending on how much you "choke up" on the classic, you can rely more on the weight on the head, I guess. They do feel different.

I look forward to reading more of your impressions. I think the Tradere SB looks really good, and it "has its own look", which I dig. Someday maybe I'll spring for one just to see. Always RAD, always RAD.... I used a Muhle R41 yesterday and a Weber today, so it's not like I'm suffering for lack of shaving equipment. Sigh.

That sounds like an anti-RAD attitude. Based on the little information I have(I could really base this on no information at all), I can assure you that you need to get an SB ASAP.

Also, the Weber website says the classic(new version, which is the one I have) is 2.4 oz versus the bulldog @ 2.2 oz.

ROFL...no enablers around here... I too love my Tradere SB, both for how it shaves and how it looks. Uhh..drat did I just enable? Duoh!! Sorry.

Hmmmm.I thought the Wave was .2 oz lighter than the classic and bulldog.... but you looked more recently than I. Just bought an ATT Titan (second hand) and am low in funds to feed the RAD!

I was 50/50 between ATT and Tradere. Maybe after Christmas....

Right. Spread it out. And don't talk to me about straights. And I neglected to mention the Slim ad Fatboy and Tech and Jagger with Weber bulldog handle.... my RAD is healthy. My wallet is not!

Nice going. Now I have to save up for a Tradere. Thanks a lot.
