    Lazarus, I went back & got the stosser wedge. 'Shaves like a dream. I thought it would. It does seem quite a bit more hollow than a vintage B.J.Eyre full wedge - in some good ways. The Eyre is utterly without feedback - silent, almost no sensation (pronounced smile, slight swayback). The Stosser is quite vocal, which being wonderfully smooth and easy to handle. That 1/4 hollow spanish point is the one I have also. That 1/4 and the stosser are the hands-down favorite blades.

    The wacker is the only 1/4 hollow I have experience with, but in the wedges, the difference between the wacker and the Eyre is huge. The Wacker talks back, the Eyre is off somewhere, meditating.

    From what Lazarus says, the wacker version of 1/4 hollow is pretty hollow, compared to others.
