Ah yes, the anti peg dope party. It's ok, we can go back to the 1930's in Spain when to own soap was a luxury.
There was a time when guitarists used pencils and rubber bands to fashion impromtu an cejilla, but eventually cejillas were mass produced and you didn't have to depend on that ornate carved wood cejilla with the little peg that always came unwound in the middle of a solo.
Guitarists used to use soap and some corn starch powder to coat oval shaped pegs, and how authentic and fun it was, said nobody who had to put up with it. Peg dope was a snobby that classical violinists used anyway, and it was hard to find because you had to go to an upscale violin shop to buy it. And the shame, the shame f being a guitarist, much worse a flamenco guitarist, who would undoubtedly be treated like a lower caste subhuman rubbish collector.
Yep, rubber band & pencil cejillas and bar soap with baby powder, yes lets go back to that era because its so romantic, and every drop flamenco snob purism counts to make us legit.
Let's just over look the fact that there is a specialty product to do the exact job of luburcating wood guitar pegs, because what are facts anyway? Just annoyances thrown out by liberal weenies to trip up real men who would never use a paste on their pegs that looks like a lipstick. Or wear a mask because it saves lives.
No siree, lets keep using the half baked trick that guitarists of yore used, because we don't want to be identified with actual products made for the purpose when we can posture and use some throwback substance that people used 60 years ago, but cause it was hard to get pegdope or lipstick.
