I've read some good discussion on this forum and another straight razor forum, but I have to ask a couple of questions as some of you in other threads have mentioned things like a good shave is with a dry blade, and I've also read in another place that many shave against the grain (after mastering the with the grain shave).. I then also got from this forum and a couple of other on-line articles advise NOT to use paste on my strops..
On the other hand, while reading this about "wet shaving" on Trumpers website here I have to ask why is this place giving advise that seems to contradict the common wisdom? Is there that much divergence of opinion on what should be an objective thing? or is it really subjective?
I'm genuinely interested in the whys of things as I'm a firm believer that this makes one better able to understand what he is doing.
And as always, thanks for the good discussion.
