Re: PSB Hairline...
Xeon, thanks for the information. I actually read a lot of your posts regarding your experience with PSB, but didn't find the answers to what I'm looking for in the past. I think the information you just gave is really valuable.
I am attracted to PSB because of the easy clean up and b/c I like how the hair stands. I'm one of those who can't seem to get a lace piece 100% clean. The lace base is clean but there's always a little bit of stickiness in the hair. When hair is tacky or sticking together, I think it takes away from the realism.
Did you order the TL400 (the regular poly skin base)?

Re: PSB Hairline...
Thank you. I am really not too sure which version of skin it actually was. I think I requested the skin be the mid grade one at the time. I know what you are saying about lace. After awhile with my lace systems, The lace itself at the front edge, for me, starts to discolor a little bit. The hairs on lace sometimes can notoriously pop down thru the underside of the unit etc. I mean I dont want you to get a skin cause of my comments than you hate it, and ur like that bastard! lol. This stuff really could work well or suck depending on the individual person.
I think the general consensus is that skin sucks. You never will hear a lot of positive comments about skin systems. When Super fine swiss lace came out, thats all you would hear about on the forum. Everyone got it and loved it. You dont hear much about the new skin systems. Its quiet. But I have gotten nothing but lace for awhile. So now I am experimenting trying something different. My next system is going to be a very thin skin for the perimeter and a lace base for the center. Skin can feel hot at times, I kind of want my scalp to breath during the summer months. The very front hairline I am going to get V-looping. I hear it looks the best but sheds like crazy. I will only get like maybe an inch or half inch of v-looping in the front, and the rest knotted on the skin and lace. I will use got2bglued to attach the base, Spirit gum/or/got2b to attach the temple flaps and very sides of the hairline, and white cream glue to attach the very center hairline. With this combo i believe i will get a realistic looking system with easy attachment removal as well as a pretty darn secure bond believe it or not, and have it comfortable and breathable. But maybe it will suck ass. I guess i will find out.

Re: PSB Hairline...
Haha thanks Xeon. You know...your pictures made me think of another question. For PSB, is the ventilation all the same? If no, then how did you have your front ventilated?
