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.
