Wow, I was amazed by this chalk. I really thought it was going to be something awesome and I was sorely let down. The stuff smells nice, but now my gear smells like it, my car smells like it (thanks to a clumsy friend) and the smell is really starting to get to me. Oh and by the way. It did make my hands feel cooler, but dont try and use this stuff on anything remotely polished or smooth. I think it actually made smooth stuff worse. If you never come across anything smooth then cool, but otherwise dont waste your money.
