Wooohooo! Nose grease works!

[BrianShaw]

Great stuff, isn't it? Just make sure you get it from the correct part of the nose. I'll never forget the disucssion with the person who thought nose-grease was an internally-produced product like ear wax.

Where does one get the grease to soften the edges of nudes?

... if you have to ask...

Honestly, I'm QUITE amazed. I have a roll from our trip to Mexico where sand must have got on the felt (of the 35mm cartridge) and put several pretty deep and long scratch. All of those frames with scratches printed *just* fine.

I am getting a bottle of Edwal's No-Scratch just in case I run out of my nose oil. My understanding is that these oil needs to be cleaned off the film each and every time. There isn't anything that will stay on the film permanently to fill those gouges, is there?

You can pick your friends,
You can pick your nose,
But you can't pick your friend's nose.

Oh... I didn't need to ask. I just wanted someone to admit it. Gee whiz... I miss my younger daze.

John,

Did he/she say why? or.... have you been sniffing fixer again?

no she didn't tell me why but she was pretty freaked out
when i needed to descratch a sheet of film i dropped, and
i was going to get it from the nose, almost as if
the quality was better from behind the ear, or that nose grease
had the tendency to do something bad to the film, or maybe it went rancid
if the film wasn't stored "correctly" .. it was as if it was something only
real photographers knew, you know, the same photographers who
knew how to retouch so you couldn't see retouching marks, or shoot perfect slides without a meter
just by judging the light and experience ...

i never questioned it, and since march 1989 i haven't used anything but stuff from behind my ear ...

of course, your mileage may vary ..

Maybe if you are female and use cosmetic, nose wouldn't be a place to harvest.....
It worked just fine for me though. I'm still amazed how well....

in any case i am glad you found another source of
photographic fun

I'll bet that John is already working on a developer made from nose oil...
