    Default Lurking?

    OK guys,

    There are 26 of you lurking in this forum right now. Yes, I can see you! Please feel free to join and post any questions you might have. No matter how silly you might think it is, jump in and ask.

    This is a cool forum and you'll learn a lot by checking out the Wiki and the stickies at the top of each forum. You can even just join and introduce yourself.

    there's so many lurkers because searching anything on straight razors gets this site in the top results.

    You can learn a huge amount just by lurking; but the results are increased exponentially by talking. I have, over the years, joined many forums on different subjects, but I've never found one where you get so many quick replies, even considering the bulk of users are probably from the other side of the planet from me! I find on other forums there are a select few who always answer, but here, a wide range of people wade into the conversation and aren't afraid to differ politely with an opinion. This way, you get a well rounded and very deep knowledge. This is, in my opinion, the BEST site for Straight Razor Shaving, but you all already know that :-)

    I believe it is related to the wave lengths of light that are reflected by the particles in the atmosphere. But is your 'blue' the same colour as that colour that I call 'blue'. Do we have different realities for which we use the same lable?

    The sky is not aware of your personal reality, so no

    I kinda dove right into straight razor shaving. I picked myself up some shaving cream, after shave balm, a strop, 3 razors (one which was properly honed and the others not so much.) along with some other goodies. Now I'm interested in buying a hone. So my question is this... Would a naniwa 12k serve a beginner better or a norton 4k/8k combination stone? Keep in mind I know honing is not something I have to do all the time, but I thought it would be cool to learn and possibly get into restoration. Also the two razors I will be practicing on are cheap old timers that won't be missed.
