On the other hand, to add some further trivia to this topic, one might copy dolphin's technology. They have soft skin which deforms in response to local patterns in water pressure during high speed swimming. They also have, believe it or not, very flakey skin (Seeeerious dandruff you say), and the shedding of flakes interferes with micro-vortices formed during swimming. Deformable skin with lots of flakes reduces friction.

Perhaps the right flakey skin on the right frame would be a winner over the best stripper out there.

OTOH, the only thing flakey around here might be the author. :)
