Re: FS4000 vs SS4000plus (thick fuji film base)

[Arthur Entlich <artistic-1@xxxxxxx>]

I believe you're going about this in a unnecessarily difficult manner. 
Having tried your approach in the past only to have my wife confront me 
with bleeding legs and underarms when she next tried to use the razor, 
I've learned future experiments of this nature should best be attempted 
using my Norelco triple header electric razor.

However, as a razorless approach, I would suggest it is better to peel 
off the emulsion and then carefully transfer it to some thinner film 
base. Make sure to smooth out all the bubbles and wait for it to dry 
completely before handling again.
