New Member here: A few questions I'd like answered please
First off, I'd like to say hello to all the wet shavers out there. I came across this website from one of Mantic59's video. I've gone back to traditional wet shaving for about 4 years now. And yes I am a new member. lol
I'm confused on which is needed and which is useless. There are so many kinds out there and all different prices. Are the $35 strops better than the $65+ kind? I'm really confused. Do I really need to spend $50+ for a hone?
Also, what's with these oils and lubricants? i.e, Oils, pastes etc... Are they needed?

I'd also like ask if anyone has or have used a hot lather machine. What kind of shaving creams can you put in it? Can you use stuff like Art of Shaving, Truefit & Hill, Proraso, etc.. in the machine or do you HAVE to use the creams specifically created for hot lather machines?
