Rode Rot Extra (stick, 45g)

This is one of those exceptions like a highway exit on the left. Normally (thanks to Swix) we think of “extra” as designating a warm version of a wax, while “special” designates a cold version. Well, this is a cold red called extra. Rex has a warm blue called special. They’re trying to make us crazy. Rot Extra is quite a good cold red, but I usually end up with Swix Special Red, or one of the newer fancy waxes like Vauhti K12 or Start RF Violet.
