Most cubes usualy feel realy smooth out of the box because it has been sitting in the stock lube for who knows how long
When it begins to get turned the stock lube is worked in more and it becomes a bit crunchier and scratchier, putting new lube in may fix this
I dont think cubes are designed to be used with lube. As far as i know lube can improve performance, but the lack of it will not damage the cube.
The cube is not made to be with lube,
Lube is made to be with cubes
Uea i agree
I waited too long and i feel i cant be color neutral anymore without a lot of effort
If you are just starting out i would reccomend starting with every color and get used to recognition on all sides
