Too funny Glen!

Thanks for all the replies. I may try a little bit tonight but not much. I have a black tie dinner to go to on Saturday night and I think my wife would be ****ed if we walked in with stitches on my face! LOL

WELL, Last night I gave it a shot and actually worked great using left hand on left side of face. No problems what so ever. Then I started to try neck and stopped pretty quick. It was going to be ugly if I continued. Thanks for all the advice everyone!

I tried a two handed approach when I started, but I didnt really like it. So now I just use my right hand only.

When I do the left side of my face I open the razor out straight, like a Japanese razor, and use it that way. This works very well for me and I can get all the angles I need that way!

Good luck!

I would go after the two handed approach the same way Lynn recommends starting the shave. First day just the sideburn, then progressing on doing one section of the face as you gain comfort and skill with the last part.

been doing that with my right hand also. Last night was actual the first time I shaved my neck at all. I was just feeling a little ambitious with my left, then thought better of it.
