Thanks in advance
Doc
is there anything else i can use instead of the proper lube stuff in the bottles that costs a furtune every time, i am using the zymol stuf but this bottle has nearly gone and hasn't lasted long, It seems that you get better results from using lots of lube but it is expensive..:p :p :p
