All serious for a minute, I had the same fast fret for over twenty years at one point. I hardly ever used it so it just lasted ages. I'd use it every now and then and think "WHY" and then not use it for a bit. Then I started using the tin to carry sweets around in for kids when I was trying to entice them into my hovel. I'm pretty sure I'd have never become a paedophile if I hadn't used Fast Fret.

My fingers never sweat, so Fast Fret does not manifest itself as very cool at all to me personally. All drawbacks, no benefit. It's like when you have a leather steering wheel that someone has just Armor-All'd, or when you slather yourself in sunblock and then immediately put a long sleeved shirt on (why do I suddenly get the feeling these are incredibly esoteric analogies? I suppose it's also like playing an entire game of monopoly in a poo'd nappy)

Watt's last post is how it went for my brother and me, who each got Fast Fret in our stockings in like '97 or '98 and probably used them once each before letting them sit and dry out for years. We both agreed recently the wooden handle was the most noteworthy part. And now it's plastic. So fuck this stuff.
