Very curious to know your thoughts on the Kanayama when you use yours. It's something I'll probably buy in a month or so.
I'll bust it out on my birthday (in a month or so) and post back here, as well as posting back a month later if I can remember - to see if it changes as drastically in a month as the horse butt did.
