BRINE:Making the facial skin tougher..

[southpawwolves]

You can't crack something that is soft, subtle and flexible... you can crack something that is thick, stiff and hard.

Not an opinion, just physics.

Can't say you didn't try Aam

Yea but the skin can tear and cut which is the point of this post.. How would any fighter know these days since they don't use brine? That sofa analogy i gave was meant to be a joke not to be taken literally. I'm not ruling out headgear because i don't mind a very light one with very little padding. I was hoping somebody would link a video demonstrating how brine is made but no takers so far.No worries.....

There's a reason fighters these days don't use brine!

Was just about to post the same thing... there's probably a reason why this 'lost art' is gone and forgoten!...

Leather might be harder to 'cut and tear' than flesh... but we're talking about skin that has ruptured and cracked from swelling/blunt impacts... not been torn like paper of slashed with a knife.
