Sunsi, I tried your method and it works for me. By using the heel of the razor, I can actually see in the mirror without my hand and wrist blocking the view. It may not be the most orthodox style of straight-razor shaving, but it seems to work for me and is much better than slicing my face due to an unsteady left hand. I'm going to keep practicing with the left hand to develop skill, but, for now, this is a much better solution than reverting to the Gillette "Fusion" to finish up. Kudos!
