I live in West Union and have an X metal XX that is my daily wear pair. im 39. i wore a flak xlj for like two years and went to the Vault store in Dawsonville, GA in spring 2017 to get new rubbers. They were having buy one get one and my wife was buying a cohort, so i got a Badman carbon/ruby. the literature said "X metal" so i started reading, and the internet led me here. then i learned they were not at all x metal or ruby. lol. i had always loved the Cyclops lenses in the x men movies, but never knew they were fugazi until i landed here...and realized @Funky-Trixtar owns them all already. :) I initially tried to buy an x squared which ended up being beat vs the "mint" as described on ebay. asked @Chris A Hardaway like a million questions and @Litos as well. eventually, litos parted with one of his x metal xx. now, when i have to wear o matter, my face feels off. about the only place ya would ever run into me is 7 11 near food lion.lol. but hello from Mayberry, man. there have to be others here.
West Union?? I grew up in Walhalla! Lol small world brother!
 
Just turned 40, bought my first X-Metal at 28, seen 3 people in public wearing X-Metals (2 Juliet Ice/Plasma, 1 Juliet Fire/Plasma) in my entire life and all of them were 50 plus at the time. Young people don't know much about them- literally had a 20 something employee at an O-Store not know what it was I was wearing this past holidays when I came in wearing my Romeos
 
You moved to West Union, or out of the area entirely?

LOL. my entire life, I have lived in Walhalla, up until i moved to West Union 6 months ago. i now live in what they call the Fairview community. As in if you are from Walhalla, and 40 +/- 5, i likely know you or someone you know. bc everyone knows everyone here within a few degrees of separation and the whirlpool sucks everyone back in at some point, even if its just for a good chicken dance or an actual piece of chicken from a place whose name would imply beef :)
