It's a Mason-Dixon Line thing. People south of the line are to use DP, while people north of the line are to tan, LOL! There have been minor battles and major wars on taxi-net about your topic! Since you are north on the line and using DP, you may be tried for treason.

Murph is correct, LOL. DP is fighting words around some parts. LOL A tan can let you drag your feet if an emergency comes along, you can bag it and finish it the next day,, or two if you have to. Try a half dozen tanned skins and see if it floats your boat..

A good Wet Tan..............You get less shrinkage and the hair seems softer
I used DP for years but I like the results that I get better with the tan..........
That's just a preference........
