Subj: Re: [kl] Grand Concert Select Thick equivalent of V12

I also started using Grand Concert Thick Blanck-Black. There are two kinds
of them. They became cheaper now (about same price as V12). As to the
equivalent thickness with V12, I knew their hardness 3 equals to 3-1/2 of
V12:I asked the Rico specialist from their homepage, and he kindly responded
to me by e-mail.
See Rico's homepage.
