The same is true of the razor.

But your point is well taken. Whatever works for learning is right.

One thing that should be assumed with most of the posts and threads on here is that, "We are Nutz" yes we know this..

I started with a straight in 1981 and used one stone and one strop to keep 2 razors sharp and shaving from 1981 to about 1999 or 2000 when I dropped the second razor and cracked it... When I came back to straight shaving in 2006 I did the same for about 6 months before finding this website and going NUTZ !!!

Yes you can shave just fine with the minimalist approach and many do, but for me this is more of a hobby now, rather than just shaving my face in the morning, and honestly aren't you worth the extra????
