I get you Rez, good point.
This will only be my 2nd new purchased razor (first was a gift that got me into straights in the first place). So some of my troubles with honing wedges may be the spine wear, etc. I really like the wedges I've gotten from Boushie and have good shaves from a 1/2 hollow I honed, so I think the 1/4 wedge might be a nice middle ground. Plus, I haven't tried one, so I'm looking forward to the 1/4.
