Thread: A pleasant surprise

One surprising thing I have found in my brief foray into straight shaving is that switching to my left hand seems to come quite naturally. I had feared that this would be difficult and lead to quite a few nicks, but so far it hasn't been hard at all.

well my left had is almost completely useless for stuff like that but still try, it is kinda scary but i try

When I started a couple of months ago, I was always frustrated by this useless appendage attached to my left shoulder. Now left hand does all the left side. Right hand does the right side and middle (favouring a backhanded method - palm towards my face). I was surprised at how quickly it developed and how it continues to develop.

As I am left handed I use only my left hand while shaving still. I do occasionally use my right hand as it is VERY awkward to use my left under my chin/throat area.

This is something I must just keep trying with and get the results I want to be able to do it blindfolded

Could you post a pic after you managed to perform a blindfolded shave

Done and done.. lol. Though I think it will be hard for myself, but I remember that one of our members here is blind I think and he shaves his head with the str8

When I first read a post about shaving with the non-dominant hand , I thought it was a joke . I tried it about a month ago and have been doing it ever since . I was surprised how easy it was .

I noticed when not using the dominant hand starting you tend to be a lot slower then your dom hand. So you can see that you will have more nicks and cuts on the stronger hand than your weaker, mostly because you feel you will slice your face off with your weaker hand lol.
