Thread: Goldegde versus Wonderedge

I have a DD Goldedge -- if the thing just looks at a hone it gets sharp. It is aweseome, so easy to hone.

I also have a Wonderedge -- it is a bear to hone. I just put in down out of frustration. The metal seems so much harder than the Goldedge. I know the Wonderedges have the reputation, but I'll take the Goldedge any day.

Anyone else have similar experience, or I am just nuts.

The WonderEdge is harder steel, that was part of the mystic, they have a special frozen blade...
I didn't notice to much of a difference on the upper grits but on the lower grit it did take a little more time to establish the bevel...
Also I noticed that like most "Frozen Temper" blades the WE loves pasted strops... IMHO

I think that in general the harder the steel on a blade the better it does on a diamond pasted strop.

Thanks. Now that I know, there is .25 diamond paste in the WE's future....

Don't listen to those guys. Both the Wonderedge and Goldege are good shavers and worth at least $10-$15 each. I will be willing to go as much as $18 if it includes shipping!

I can certainly confirm that softer steels, ala wapi's are not fond of the diamond paste. An amazing edge superfine edge and then... bleah.

Soft steel is easy to hone though and can maintain an "good" edge quite well. It's a shame that the dd is so expensive I am starting to understand the appeal of good steel.

No, you are absolutely correct - you need to mail that wonderedge to me and enjoy your life to the fullest, there is only so much time, why waste it in frustration.

yeah, those things are junk, I will take it off your hands.
