Show us your cubes.

I like to put the cube on the ground and pinch it between my feet. Then I simply turn my cue upside down and twist it between my palms. I have found the extra weight of the cue on the cube adds a thicker layer of chalk. If I don't see a puff of blue floating away after every shot I know I didnt chalk well.
Think there is a lot of use there, when it breaks in half, then I would trash mine that look similar.
I would throw everyone as far as i could!
Here is mine, it's been in use for a week or two. When it gets worn to the extent that I can feel it "catching" when brushing on the chalk I leave it at the pool hall (where it is less used than 90% of the cubes in the box) and grab a new one. I buy it by the bag (of 12) for not much money locally at Goulds Home Recreation ... like they say: "chalk is cheap"

Some of you leave the paper sloppy on the edges. That's just wrong, like leaving spaghetti strands hanging down your chin. The paper can remove chalk as fast as you put it on. Please look above for what a properly trimmed chalk looks like. If you can't figure out how to do it yourself, hire a mohel. 
I don't image there are many clean ferrules in this group!View attachment 670980
These are my good ones. I have a bunch more that are just getting broke in.
My favorite one broke in half when I got mad and threw it at a ball.

Just for you Bob, a little masking tape around the one per Coco’s recommendation. I might need to trim the paper again. The ferrule is not too bad, but it will get a weekly cleaning sometime today.

Being an electrical person, I use electrical tape. It comes in festive colors, not just black. This is useful if you spent $30 for your chalk. Which reminds me ... I need to wrap my round chalk with yellow or orange so I can find it when it rolls under the table.
