There is no question oily concoctions like C22 (or even straight mineral oil) are brutal on adhesives, but they also loosen hairs & require extensive washing after use.
Overall, your unit lose quite a lot of hair.
On the flipside there are people here - the more experienced ones, it seems - who recommend 99% alcohol soak for adhesive removal. First of all, does it work effortlessly? Will the residual tape and glue just float off, or does it require additional effort, like w/ C22?
What are the cons of alcohol soak? Of course there's drying of hair & also I've noticed with certain vendors (like Lord) alcohol strips the hairs of their color.
What do you guys say?
