    I don't know any of that for sure...
    IIRC though the Hess Frozen tempers were done on the Stainless Steel #44 so that would be a difference there as the WE is Carbon steel but I don't know enough about the process nowadays let alone back then...


    Edit yep IRC hehehe it was the #44

    Thanks for the information.

    The difference is about $25 per step up the name ladder ;-)

    So which way is up on the name ladder? I have a Goldedge that is my goto razor when the shave test on a freshly honed razor doesn't quite make it.

    I have always THOUGHT the pecking order was Satin, Gold, Wonder but obviously with regards to shave quality it is widely opinion based.

    You might want to take a walk through the Daffy Ducks Razor club as there are many many more DD names out there...

    The WE and the Stainless were some of the last made, so some consider them to be top of the heap when looking at DD's but again I have never met a DD in good shape that hasn't been a superb performer...

    At the very least.

    There are some exceptions - I've seen some Goldedges going for the same price as Wonderedges (mint condition price). I personally think GE's are not nearly as nice as WE's, but that's JMHO.
