Thread: Would like some input on photos

Genetics man. You could be lucky and it could just stop getting worse, but the more common pattern is as you have described. It just suddenly speeds up, and within no time it is noticeable. Then yo... |

Thread: Pics of my new piece
Post: RE: Pics of my new piece
Superb result. I love the fullness and density of this.
Do you think there is much advantage in having the poly rim? I was a bit concerned it might be feelable with the high and tight cut.

I would think the fear of that would be very distracting, unless you are very cool about the unit being ripped off. Would (could) you consider using head protection? |
