no, you're not new, novel, or extreme in this part of the BB world.. people here have used it and there is info on it here if you search.
there is also plenty of pics/vids on the internet of people looking very retarded from improper use of syntherol.. the oil can move around under the skin and pool in the lowest place making you look all deformed and freakish.

check youtube for syntherol...
