Hi Guys
New day, a new review. And this time we will speak about CHALK. And more particularly about a small new German brand called re-White, previously named Whiteout.
I have to be completely honest. Why did I buy something from this brand the first time ? …… Because of the packaging and the design of the website…. OK, it’s not really scientific, but I love that.
I tested 2 products (in reality 3 but 2 of them are almost the same). So we have liquid chalk and a “normal chalk”. I bought this chalk in 2 different formats, a bag of chunky chalk and a block of chalk. The chalk inside is exactly the same.
The chalk is very nice, I like the texture. It’s definitely not as bad chalk as some first prices chalk you can find on the internet. But I didn’t notice any particular differences with my previous chalk. Note that they have a premium chalk called “white chalk plus” supposed to be better. I didn’t try it, so I can’t tell you. Hope to try it one day!
Ok now let’s speak about the liquid chalk. I really tried that product and this time I really noticed a difference with other liquid chalks.
It comes in a 200ml tube. That’s huge! For 12e, it’s a very good price. Maybe it’s even too big. You have to carry this big tube. Maybe a 100ml or 150ml option could be a good idea.
The chalk is super liquid. And to me, it’s his advantage but also inconvenient. Why is that? Let’s start with the dark side. As the chalk is very liquid, it’s really hard to put the right quantity. I usually put a lot of liquid. Maybe the tube could have a smaller hole. Because personally, I don’t want the chalk to be less liquid. That’s the main advantage compare to other chalk. (haha that’s a nice transition, isn’t it ? )
When you manage to put the right amount, this chalk is just amazing. It will go in every asperity of your skin. Your hands will be perfectly dried. I usually re-chalk approximately every 45 min (2-3 times per session), when I climb a lot. I use it as a base layer. And then I put some normal chalk. But a very little amount. I guess it’s more by habit than a real need.
For the small story, last time I washed my hand after my session, very quickly, but usually it’s enough to remove all the chalk. And with this one I still had chalk in all the appetites of my hands when they dried.
To sum up. A very nice liquid chalk !
