My “six” were properly applied with a thin swishy and “stingy” cane which, being denser than some, was really quite a “senior” implement (or so I understand). It was sharp, but not “excruciating” as many school canings are described. Would six from a thicker, more “thwacky” cane, properly applied over shorts, be noticeably harder to take? I’m tempted to try but would need to be careful about marks. What would be the difference and would they last longer?
