    Thanks for all the replies and great advice. I have a Zeepk straight (I just bought the set for the cheap stand) so I'll start playing around with that in my spare time. I have decided to start using my left as much as possible for anything I can to help build dexterity in that hand. This should be interesting.

    It took me a couple of months of baby steps before I'd do any left-handed passes with my straight. They're still cautious, but there's one spot I can really only do well left-handed.

    That is an interesting project of yours, building dexterity. It's fun when it starts coming--I can now drive nails and run a drill left-handed. Had to learn after blowing out my right elbow.

    Good luck with your shaving!

    I cut the tendon on my right hand when I was a kid, so I was forced to use my left hand for many things for a long time. It's very suprising just how stupid your left hand is.... at first I couldn't even open my soda left handed... Before I was done I could through a frisbee left handed...

    My dominant hand is my left hand, but that's neither here nor there. Fact is, I just started using my right hand shaving one day and little by little it starts to feel more natural until you don't even notice when you're shaving with your passive hand! Even stranger is the fact that I actually get closer shaves on the side of my face shaved by my non-dominant hand. Go figure.

    You can train your less dominant hand. E.g. only by the less dominant hand to write, it does not look at the beginning but it goes fast. Try to do as much to do with that hand.
    You'll see it works
