Solution for Plosives

I've got my SM58 here and an external pop filter set up but I still get pretty strong plosives on the stronger syllables. I've heard of the coat hanger and pantyhose trick, but I don't want to buy a whole box of pantyhose just to use one of them... and to be blatantly honest I wouldn't be comfortable using a pair of my mothers. Let's just say that outright.

Removing plosives in a mix

Hi all. I was wondering something about plosives. I've got a couple of them at the beginning of a song and they're fairly minor and weak so I think I'm going to try to compress them or EQ them out - but out of curiousity, can anyone tell me if mastering will be able to help. I've heard that they're sometimes better handled by a good mastering engineer. Any comments?

Vocal plosives

When I record the Vocals my problem is that when the singer sings the p, k. or a loud "s" it sounds sometimes too hard and the "s" like "st".
I know that this is a compr. problem but what? I use the goldenmike preamp + groovetubes CL1s. Sometimes the TL Audio C1. I've heard that using 2 Compressors is a good idea.Can you give me some tips-tricks? Thank you
