I picked up this W&B a few weeks ago and had it honed by Ray at Gentleman's Best. I've used it three times and all I can say is WOW, what a shave. Feels great in the hands, cuts through whiskers effortlessly and gives a great shave.
Last night I shaved for the first time with a Double Duck, Satinedge also freshly honed by Ray. It shaved well but not like the W&B. I was amazed that after only 7-8 months of Str8 Shaving, the difference in the two razors was obvious to me.
If I were to use a car analogy I would say that the W&B is like a 50's Era Cadillac: big heavy (not in a bad way) and rides well, comfortable and luxurious. The Double Duck: a sports car (Corvette), handles well, turns better in the curves, does not feel as luxurious and does not ride as well.
Both shaved well, but I am now a Wade and Butcher fan.
