    I don't feel comfortable trying to shave with my right hand (I'm left handed).
    I feel like I can't see what in doing in the mirror.

    You know, I thought about making the comment about right handed vs. left just to see how many lefties called me out on it

    Oddly, I shoot pistols, rifles, and shotguns right handed. I swing bats and clubs right handed. I practiced marital arts and spar right handed.

    I couldn't throw a ball right handed or hold a pencil in my right hand to save my own life.... lol

    I do wear my watch in my right hand and am left footed in martial arts. You don't want to see me try to write with my left hand though...

    All that right handed stuff is because we live in a right handed world, the real you is the stuff you do solo - you are a lefty

    Lefty here. Shave 60% dominant with a conventional straight but about 75-80% dominant with the kamisori.

    Default It's not suicide after all...

    Ok - can I change my vote?
    This morning, I managed using my left (non-dominant) hand to shave certain areas. And it wasn't so bad after all... I think I'll stick with it, Thanks SRP.

    I was born a leftie then forced by school to become right-handed.
    That kinda left me fully ambidextrous
    So yes, I use both hands equally much while shaving.
    Or any other thing really.

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....
