So I used the GC I got to get a couple trials to start with. Picked up Instant Shine and [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/). Hoping these get sent out today for delivery tomorrow so I can begin testing this weekend. Next week when I get paid I’ll be picking up A314 and probably Ammo (if it’s back in stock by then). Once I get the testers and try them out I’ll start a journal to keep tabs on things. From what I’ve gathered, shine works best on the back of the head and IO works great on the back of hands/inside of forearms/side of neck correct? Cheers all… first step on my phero journey… A lot of what I’ve read here has given me some great background information and I hope to share my knowledge with the next group of incoming phero enthusiasts as I learn more. ---

Glad to hear it man! I’m hoping to receive my first order today… I’ve read a lot and can’t wait to receive it. It’s been over a week at this point so hopefully it comes soon ☹ good luck!! ---

There isn’t a ‘best’ area to place [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/)… In my opinion, anyway Hair is regarded as a good place because it difuses the pheromones better - This should also imply the pheromones don’t last as long either… And it mostly applies to people with some longish hair IIRC, though I do it too with short hair so 🙂… Some people place it on their wrists to stop /reduce self effects, or if they are rather expressive with their hands but make sure you dont wash it off when you wash your hands!.. Personally I put it around my neck as I usally get quite close to talk to people (out down town drinking, not normal, everyday) simply cause’ I can’t hear jack… So for me its an acceptable action and ideal location… Placement is more strategic IMO, apart from hair which is diffusion++. ---

Good luck man! Hope it gets there for you asap. Ground shipping from CA to Michigan takes like 4 days (I work with shipping and such all the time for my company)… so hopefully they’re showing up asap for you so you can get started. I’m excited! I have a bunch of social gigs (both day and night) to be out doing this weekend, so I want to run some quick tests right off the bat. Today just got a whole lot more awesome =) ---

Ordered my first batch last friday it looks like so it hasnt been quite a week… but hope its there when i get home today. good luck again and let us know how it all plays out. ---
