Just a mini review of Karen's new wooden tips. I've been using two of them since last Friday and really like them. I especially like the mini ming, but that's probably because for me in general the smaller the tip the better.
But one thing is really noteworthy to point out: For some reason, probably having to do with whatever coating they have to help with liquid proofing, they also seem to possess a serious deterrent to those nasty flecks of hardened goup that build up on and adhere to most stainless and trippy tips. You know that stuff that is sometimes really hard to clean off? Well, being on day five of constant use with the mini ming wooden tip, I'm amazed at the lack of that build up. And the teeny tiny bit that I have seen form on it over this period of time flicks off with a fingernail so easily and quickly that it's not a problem at all.
The only thing I would ask for in the future for this line of tips would be perhaps that there also be a darker wood color choice, or at least a bit more of a wood grain appearance.
