cool thanks for the advice. for me to not try to shave left handed would be dumb, because im what some people would consider ambidextrous...sp? meaning i write right handed, brush my teeth right handed, but my left hook is my hardest punch, i play hockey, golf and baseball left handed. so on and so forth. so i might as well utilize what ambi skills i have for shaving

also. ive got a double boiler going right now...i dont own a microwave. in its place i have a toaster oven =)
