Well, I started about 7-8 months ago at age 63. Proud to say I'm pretty good at it now but am still getting better. As a matter of fact, last night's shave was about the best I've had. I was even using one of the razors I consider a little unforgiving -- perhaps that was the key: I was extra careful!

So as a 45-year old youngster you should have no problem.

On the original topic of this thread: I use both hands to shave. It is worth training your "off" hand to avoid the awkward positions needed to get one hand to reach everywhere with the correct angles.

Dear Bob,
Makes me feel better and encourages me to face (no better word) to do it. Texan spirit, my friend.
At 63, as we say in Spain, you are in the bloom of your life. Say it is true.
Be well.

The eyes in the back of your head?
