    Girls do like the resulting feel of a straightbut they are not wowed like men.
    I'm not even sure that's a good thing!

    i'd go the original wapi, the scales being a major factor in the decision out of the two.

    I love the original Wapi, it’s the ¼ hollow grind that first grabbed me… reminiscent of those old Sheffield wedgies and the heft. It’s a very unusual little razor with a “funny” shape… and IMHO better stain resistance than most.

    A few questions… and comments...

    Does the Wapi II use the same Swedish steel?
    If the original factory is making the Wapi II (probably because of demand), didn’t anyone tell them the Wapi is… “The Wapi”… in a class by itself and there is no other? Why manufacture a razor that looks like a rebranded Chinese Double Arrow?
    Shouldn’t they be making it like the original Wapi (you know… like an upgrade)?

    What they are doing now is simply competing with every other hollow ground razor. This doesn’t make good business sense to me.

    I haven't got a Wapi yet, but as the gentleman above says I think they should make their classic and not worry about making new shapes.

    I often get E-mails from people asking me whether to do business various dog breeders. Sometimes the only information I have to go on is what they show the public on their website (though with a few contacts you can learn a lot ) And little things like proper spellings of "technical" terms can tell you something about the depth of knowledge a person has available to them and how much thought they put into things. While this is rarely in my experience a solid reason TO do business with someone it can be a clue as to why NOT TO do business with them.

    I don't shop in dirty unorganized stores either.

    And ............................By now I'm guessing that anyone reading this thread and following the links has no idea what I'm talking about because it probably fixed.
    Who's found they can't spell "whose"?
