Well, it's been five months now. Still at CI-4. Mostly using the TLC tugger exclusively, except for the weekends when I use the DTR. Very satisfied with the results from both. I think that a variety of methods is the best way to go. The skin I have now is definitely visible, even when hard. It's just hard to keep it down over the head. I use the retaining cone by TLC which works wonders. The tappered fit I think will help in the long run. It's a long process, though!!!! I'll attach three more pics 1) hard on, 2) sitting, and 3) pulling forskin.
Thanks.
