    Hi Steven,

    I am +1 with David. In my case it seems like it takes very little time until one of those cloth wheels turns very black. Thus, like David, I would use it until it doesn't do the job...

    Hi All,

    Well, I am nursing a cut that is going to be very slow to heal. I've been mulling over whether or when to write this up, and the "yeas" have it.

    Wow, Steven,
