Does it show /emoticons/biggrin.png

I bought some & used it for about an hour & it was worn.

Was very disappointed as I'm a big fan of the unger soft & couldn't believe the green could be so rubbish.

 
was looking at black diamond on ebay just know as had seen polz bladz saying it was good stuff on a vid as he had found a bit:laugh: but when i seen the price:eek: ordered 3x42 inch unger hard instead as it was cheaper than 1x42 black diamond

i tryed one of them norm an it was not as good as ettore i wouldent buy black diamond one i was lucky some one gave me 1 to try for 3

 
im picking up some rubbers to morrow from a locole shop im guna try some unger hard an pullex soft an hard ill probly get 2 ettore soft as well i like a mixture in my rubber tube its like pick a mix /emoticons/biggrin.png

 
I've only used Unger soft...Put a new strip in yesterday and within ten windows I'm getting a line, give the blade a wipe and I'm still getting a line...My eyes are pretty good and I know exactly what part of the rubber is leaving a line but I cannot see or feel a nick at all...flip the rubber over and it's fine...I've found this has happened a few too many times so I'm only getting use out of one side of the rubber...these are far from being the cheapest rubber so when I order my next batch I'm going to try something else...Was going to give Moerman or Ettore a try, seeing as Moermans cheaper will give that a go first.

If your getting lines in same place check boab has not got a rough edge where rubber sits . Have stuck Velcro on mine saved me a lot of rubbers

Still can't believe this problem exists! Come on manufacturers sort it out!

Get some facelift razr

A bit pricey but lasts 4 times longer than anything else and works perfect

Not natural rubber like the others so even though it's quite hard it squeegees like soft

 
I tried a sample of the black diamond yesterday, but i didnt like it, its way too soft and bendy for my taste, its very cheap though compared to razr red.

okay i have completely changed my mind regarding rubber since i got my

liquidator at saturdays. I didnt like Black diamond at all, to soft and "sticky" (still is if you use standard ettore etc. channels)

But with the liquidator it has changed now i like that a lot, razr has now gone Down some spots on my favorite rubber list. (dont like it as much in liquidator)

Black diamond also dead cheap get 145meters for 165quid :eek:
