Not a huge fan of hair wax, mostly because I don't like the lasting greasy feeling which seems to transfer onto everything you come into contact with.

On the advice of Sal the grumpy Uzbeki barber, I use the LA Looks like of hair gel, which is one of the cheapest products of its type: LA Looks ? Hair Styling Gels | L.A. Looks

You can experiment a bit to find the one that works for you. They range from "hard as a rock" to "sort of more-or-less holds the hair in place."

For some reason this surprises you?

Oh good to know, i was also able to see the different colors of the pixels. that was my main concern and yeah.

Hell yeah Joseph!

but you all missed one important detail:

water-based.

I'm not looking for that Soul Glo Rick James bullshit.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1426529904

I'm looking for the modern technology that washes out in plain water without soap. Not stuff that washes out after 3 days of shampooing with dishwashing detergent.

I ordered the layrite. I will report back to spite you all.

DK2 was, I believe, using a 1080p samsung note 2 or 3 panel (I forget). that's a very small # of pixels to stretch to 100 degree field of view. You're gonna see pixels.

Most people can resolve somewhere between 1 and 2 arcminutes per pixel. Rift DK2 is about 5.5-6.

We just released a product for a very large R&D institute that is 1.20 arcmin / pixel. It's Very Hard to see individual pixels.

As smartphone panels get more pixels, Rift will benefit. 4K phones are on the way. that means double the pixel density which makes a big difference. At that level, most people wont care.

triple88a 03-16-2015 02:36 PM

Indeed, yes the dk2 uses 1920x1080 screen for both eyes. The release version is suppose to have the same hd model (maybe a different screen but same resolution). The 4k is in the works but they say it wont be released until the consumer 1080p model comes out.

I know this aint the VR nerdery thread, but the only thing I really think is great about the Rift is the fix they did for image persistence. Motion blur is a big problem with OLEDs.

Back to hair.

I buzz my hair off once temps reach 70. About the same time the miata comes out of the garage. Once temps drop below 70 I stop cutting. By Thanksgiving I need to use hair product. I love Aveda Men's Grooming Cream which works for me from buzzcut fro onward (Currently my hair is <4" long, it'd be much longer if it weren't for cutting it for PRI this past December) My hair is crazy frizzy with nothing in it after drying. Their Pomade was too thick/greasy.

I'm not sure if it's water based but it certainly washes out easily. Smells great.

Aveda Men Pure-Formance? Grooming Cream > Hair Care > Men > Aveda

I was able to get little sample tubes of everything from a hair shop that sells their stuff.

That was the whole point of my post. I also dislike the greasy feel of traditional pomades, and use the LA Looks product for that exact reason. It is water based, dries quickly, is non-sticky when dry, and rinses out easily in the shower without so much as a dollop of shampoo.

OK, fair enough.

But those are gel and not pomade. I'm familiar with gel. I used it in the late 90s when I frosted my hair and was in the band Sugar Ray.

If you travel 50-100miles outside the city you get to see REAL CLOUDS.


*On Men's Haircare - I also dislike the greasy feeling, I also dislike having to wash whatever is in my hair out. I have short enough hair to where I can just use water + comb and use my hair's oil to form a shape. Am I greasy myself? No. I do wash my hair 2-3 times a week, but not everyday. I don't sweat everyday until TX summer rolls around. :dunno: Thoughts?

I'd like to try a pomade in the future.
