I've been toying with the razors I just purchased, watching some of the instructional videos and reading the wiki. Decided to try some of the hand positions, just as easy with the left hand as with the right. "Pretended" to shave (kind of hard to say that) with the spine side of the razor and mimicked the movements. It's a bit tougher to see what I'm doing, the scales or tang are often interfering with my vision. I'm sure it will feel more natural with time, I am writing to specifically say I had always anticipated the left hand being more difficult than the right. A member at B&B had mentioned that since he was learning a new skill, there's no predetermined bias for one hand or another, and I think he hit it right on the head. Having a good time so far, maybe when I get one of these suckers shave ready it'll really be fun :)
