    Hi all… I’m old (42), and achieved the life goal of learning to solve a cube. Then I got a 2x2, 4x4, and a 5x5 front the wife for mother’s day. Got them fairly figured out (haven’t memorized the 4x4 parity algs, I’ll admit).

    Trying to figure out what’s next. Getting fast w a 3x3 is probably it…

    Funny thing is that I used to cube to wean off of reddit when they killed third party apps, so that’s why I’m here.

    If I get a speed cube (looking at an RS3 M 2020), should I be concerned with things like lubes at this point, or should I just get one and go?

      RS3M is a great choice! I guess depending on where you’re buying your cube from, I’d suggest just buying lube anyway, but I don’t think you need to get too much into it. There are different lubes for core vs pieces and many different types/feels but I think just buy one for the pieces that can make it feel smoother. That’s a huge, quick help in making your cube feel better.
