Everyone always tells me what a great guy Leon is.

I think it is important for any vendor or instructor to listen carefully to the client/student as to where they are heading in order to respond appropriately and help you make the most of what they have to offer.

I have three noses. One is a proknows, one a schnatlacher, and the other a Jim Howle. Each has something unique to offer me. I consider the proknows to be the best quality nose, overall. Yet there is something about the finish or whatever which just doesn't offer quite the right appearance that I am going for. So I usually employ the matching model schnat, instead. The Howle nose is a nice texture. I bought it because I needed something in a flesh tone which would work for my face and character when I go a route that is better suited to something not bright red. I wasn't finding just what I wanted in the other brands out there. So Jim and I talked it over for a bit and finally settled on a style and color that he then special coated coated for me and sent along. I add a bit of blush to the tip and it works just fine.

As for adhesive, I have used the schnatlacher stuff, but am not entirely happy with it. It does work well enough for the schnat nose, I suppose, but not particularly well for any of the others. I need to try out some other options and see how they go.
