Anyone got the old SmackDown "minitron" graphics?

OK, I've read somewhere (cant remember where) that putting shaving cream (Gillette etc.) on the simulated leather strap of a WWE Replica belt will loosen the strap and cause it to move more freely. Does anyone know if thats actually true?
Also, does anyone know the difference between an adult replica, and a deluxe replica?
To clarify, i know technically what the difference is, but im looking for personal opinions. Has anyone got both an adult and deluxe replica and is the difference noticeable enough to justify buying a deluxe belt?

Don't waste your money on a deluxe replica belt. The strap is the only difference and it's really minute (the deluxe strap only has a thin layer of real leather on top of the regular strap used). As for loosening the strap, you can simply remove the plates and fold/bend the strap at every inch between the snaps. It works very well and creates that "ring used" look, but does take time.

Fold it much the same manner the ref does when showing it off before a title match, Do up the snaps and put it under your couch cushions for a week or so and with people sitting on it it will loosen and most likely make the fold exactly where it`s supposed to be if done right. It gives it more of a broken in look, i did it to my belt. Another thing that`s works well but takes some human strenght is to take off the plates and start at one end and roll it up like you would a poster, then undo it and roll it the opposite way. Do this a few times and it will work the leather in to have a more rounded look if your don`t like the folded look, but roll it first before you fold it. You can`t remove creases, but you can add them

I have pretty much beat the crap out of my Intercontinental strap for a long time. I've removed the plates and rick rolled it all over the place. However, it can still be kinda stiff at times  Patriot, do you have a deluxe belt? |

Pretty much the same thing for them to charge another $100+. |
