I'm thinking of a new razor, if for no other reason than that RAD is getting its ugly claws in me. I've been using a Wapi almost exclusively lately...and I like the feel of the blade. It's nice and stiff, and it sweeps through the hairs like the reaper's scythe.

I've been looking at different styles, and I've decided that I want either a more "wedgey" blade (no more than 1/4 hollow) or a frameback; aesthetically, they both appeal to me much more than hollows, and I like the stiffer feel of a less hollow blade. Comments about Framebacks have led me to beieve that the shave is somewhat similar to a wedge; and I have to admit, I prefer the look of the frameback a bit more.

Is there anything that would make a wedge a much better buy than a frameback? Either in regards to maintenance or shaving?
