This will be the occasion to thank you for all the ressources and help you gave all around. Goldmine.
One issue I met not listed is that you can burn (in the literal meaning) your scrotum in the 6 o'clock area (where the ring meets the skin in a line).
My own diagnosis is: slightly too big of a ring, unprocessed Cherry Keeper ring and (no surprise there) a ball gap.
But I also cumulate the edge cases: girthy, uncircumcised and a slightly too small of a cage in length (personal preference) which when you add them, cause an excess of skin getting out of the cage's entrance (not helping for the ball gap either).
For some time I thought it was caused by the skin folding/pinching in this area when the ring moves a bit (and thus thinking the ring is too small) but it is bound to happen because of the ring size versus the diameter of the area involved.
My current best guess is the addition of the roughness of the ring and the movements of it caused by moving around or natural ... excitation. Ring itself alone wasn't exactly comfortable until I used sand paper on it but there is no way I can sleep with the cage on (ball gap). It's fine during the day though.
Lesson learned: unprocessed is very bad. Mistakes make us stronger.
Ring current size makes me barely veiny when I am ... At the peak of excitation and I can get in and out of it pretty easily without lubrication. So I assume going slightly smaller might help with the movement/scratching. Lot of assumptions there. And not forgetting about a smooth finish.
I'll also try a slightly longer cage to see if it helps with the extra folded skin at the cage's entrance and the ring pressure on it.
I do not think it's the dye because the shaft presented no issue. But we'll also do without next purchase. Troubleshooting and experimenting around can be fun.
To your issue, what you're describing, burning at the 6 o'clock position, is very likely due to your ball gap being too small. But then you mention that later on so sounds like you know that.
The excess skin – I'm not an expert on uncircumcised but in general, the shorter the cage is relative your your flaccid length, the wider the cage needs to be.
If you can take the ring off while erect, I'd say it's far too large – or your anatomy is significantly different than my own. But I need a very squishy penis to get my ring on or off. One reason I'm so excited about this new cage I'm doing with BAWR is the ring itself is just flat, no junction poking out, which means I can have sex with the ring on – no more waiting for me to return to flaccid :)
Thank you for this very useful article and no you are not verbose, don't change your style , I enjoy reading your writings
On a side note in the "I keep having to re-align every time I go to pee" part you mention in the 1st sentence that "It’s very likely your cage is too short" shouldn't it be "too long" instead of "too short"?

Thanks for catching that. And I won't be changing my style but I thought something clear and concise would be helpful.
I can easily fit my.finger into the cage alongside my penis.
I assume I need a narrower cage
