I have tried a combo of different materials from all lace, to skin, to combos of both. I haven't had a problem using skin, in fact sometimes for some reason or another it was easier in the temple area. Sometimes I would have trouble hiding the lace being exposed in that area on 'SOME" lace systems. If you do the right attachment, its not really detectable by touch. the skin is thin, it looks thick in this magnification. If you really attach skin right so its a tight bond pressed against the skin, than it feels like skin. Its smooth.
