Wet or dry lips... does it matter? - Page 2

I'm a wet embouchre guy.

Lick lips, lick rim, place horn on face everytime!

I don't know why I've just always been that way. I can't play dry; I've tried it just feels so un-natural.

When not playing I keep my lips in shape with Good ole' Burts bees wax..

As for desitin DEAR GOD MAN!

I'm a father of three couldn't imagine putting that nasty putty on my face let alone my lips.

Okay...perhaps I'll be the most bizzare. Side embrochure...top lip dry...bottom lip wet. I find that the dry top holds things in place well...and the wet bottom allows for flexibility. Dave Brown

Yep. That is most certainly bizarre.

Well, I'm super wet. I slobber all over my lips and lick the mouthpeice. I find any dry spot to be disconcerting. I think it's because I have a lot of lip motion as I change notes. That may (I hope) go way as I refine by embouchure.

I'd never heard of keeping one lip dry and the other moist before reading about it online a couple month ago! To each his/her own!!
