Welcome to WetShaving Lemmy community! This is the place to ask beginner and simple questions. Some examples include:
- Soap, scent, or gear recommendations
- Favorite scents, bases, etc
- Where to buy certain items
- Identification of a razor you just bought
- Troubleshooting shaving issues such as cuts, poor lather, and technique
Please note these are examples and any questions for the sub should be posted here.
Don’t forget out about our wiki! Find it here.
Let’s talk stones. How often do you put your straight razors to the stones? Is there any reason to prefer minimizing stone use, and rather go for loaded strops (blade wear, etc.)?
My main question here is finishing and refreshing stones (in the 8k+ range), and not resetting the bevel.
