Wow, good to hear you're treid some JUIC stuff. I was told the ultima sponge was the 'best one', would you agree with that?

Yes the Texalium has a real nice feel, I like the handle too.

Since I only tried three of their sponges, take my words for what little they are worth, as I tried these out during the first few months I took TT seriously. I personnaly like the Ultima sponges, especially the Soft version, as it was easy to loop with both BH and FH.

I liked both blades that I bought, I still have one. I let another guy buy it from me in Iraq, he was in a hurry to get a good outfit right then and there, and I was willing to keep buying and trying new equipment. I did like the handles on both blades. I ended up giving the rubbers to a group of Romanians I hit with there.

I have started a Nittaku rubber review series, and I can make some reviews on the Juic stuff I have tried, both blades and rubbers. Gonna take me a few days to get them in order though.

To help make the blade review more complete and relevant to everyone here, can you all say what you want the review to cover? I can only think of so much stuff to say about the blade, without some thoughts from a differnt angle. I need these suggestions for the blades, I think I have the rubbers covered well enough.

That sounds really good!

I find blades harder to reivew myself too.

I guess you'd look at
- physical construction, handle size, finish and quality.
- speed
- feel (soft, medium or hard) and control (very subjective I know)!
- Vibrations
- flex (rigid or flexible)
- style you think it suits

Don't have to give all the details, you may not remember some of them anyway, but these are just suggestions. I'm sure there are a few more I have not thought of yet!

Cheers!

I am not out to pimp the JUIC line for the company, that job belongs to the marketing department.

But I can tell everyone this thing. Every product I have bought from JUIC in my mini EJ days has been a winner, hands down. Maybe I was lucky in what I chose. Both blades, both rubbers, and especially the EE II. 5 for 5 is a decent average. If any of you still got the EJ left inside you a callin', check 'em out.

Haggisv is doing the right thing adding some JUIC stuff to his inventory. He probably didn't order enough EE II, that stuff is gonna or probably already has flown off the shelves so fast it will have left vapor trails.

When I used inverted I really liked the ultima sponge and the Driva Smash topsheet. I know some who really like the Juic blades as well.
