I am pretty new myself but I think repeat questions are a good thing because they are never the same. The trouble I had when I started was a single minded approach. I thought there were exact steps to shaving, stropping, honing etc but I now realize there aren't. There are general guidelines to everything and in those each straight razor user finds their own preferences and styles.
When a newbie asks a question it is never answered the same as the last time. If they take the time to read through all the threads they can pick up multiple methods and find the ones thats best for them.
So everytime they ask its a new opportunity for users to share their newest experiences with straight razor shaving rather than having it being posted once or written by one user in a wiki.
Another thing is that being new is EXTREMELY unnerving and frustrating. Besides the basic fear of cutting your face cut up, I feel as though new users are intimidated by the sheer volume and combinations of razors, hones, stropping etc. One generic article cannot possibly address every single permutation of equipment combination. As a newbie its really comforting to know that I am getting expert advice on my particular setup. Even when there is another thread dedicated to the Little Devil hone, I am freaking out because this hone is so rare, I want to be sure I'm not going to be destroying it or ruining my razor.
I'm not trying to tell you guys what to do. That's just my 2 cents. Take what you want and thanks for allowing me to share.
