    I prefer off so I can be sure everything's dry, but if it comes on I'd leave it to keep it original.

    Like all things, rust can build up under the wrap from water, so I see your point in leaving it off.
    If it does come with a wisteria wrap, I can remove it without too much of a hassle, correct?

    No idea. I have only ever had one, an Iwasaki, and it came to me naked.

    Things happen. Much easier to dry a pivot than wrapping.

    I left mine on. I have one with out a wrap and I can definitely say I prefer the rap. It helps me grip more. As far as drying I wipe my lather off. I don't rinse. I would suggest keeping it on at first, if you don't like it turn it off.

    I've never used a Kamisori, but I'd take it off. I think it would really mess with my OCD, I'd always be worried it wasn't even or something. Also I'd worry about moisture under it.

    BTW, I also like the idea of the solid navy blue 2 button suit, 3 dress shirts and 2 ties, though I would have saved my money on the ties...

    BTBTW, the picture is like that because you uploaded it, but didn't click the "insert Inline" button.

    Considering your name I'm surprised you didn't comment on the solid navy blue 2 button suit, 3 dress shirts and 2 ties. Are you going to ask him if they were French Cuff or shall I?
