^ haha. I think Lizard Skins are ugly too.

Everyone I know who loves thicker tapes like Cinelli Cork hate it. I've also heard good things about Specialized tape.

Lizard Skins seems to get the most love, but I haven't tried it. If I ever can justify that much for tape, or find it on sale somewhere, I will definitely buy it.
Do you know if the "Soft Touch" has more padding than the regular stuff? I bought some Fizik thinking it was going to be thin. Unless it has less, this stuff is still a little too thick for me! ahah.

I'm pretty sure this eBay seller sent me Soft Touch instead of the regular black. (You can definitely tell the difference between Soft Touch and regular black Microtex right? The pack I got doesn't have a "sheen" to them? They look matte-ish? idk. I've never handled the two.)
