    Default A few Firsts

    Well I achieved a few FIRSTS today

    I shaved with BOTH hands!
    Never practiced just did it.
    NOT HARD AT ALL!
    In fact it was quite EASY to accomplish.
    I will be doing this from now on.

    I put my bowl into another bigger bowl that I had filled with HOT water.
    Got a NICE WARM lather to shave with!
    This is another thing I WILL be doing from now on...


    THANKS to everyone for all the advice and encouragement.
    This is really a GREAT community we are involved in!

    That is all for now.
    I wish you all GREAT shaves!

    Congrats! In my first SR. try, 35 years ago, I used only one hand and was always struggling with the left side of my face. Gave it up for cartridges....when I came back last year with a pro-honed razors (and SRP) I used both and was amazed how easily I adapted since usually I can do NOTHING with my left hand beyond scratching my butt.

    nice !!!
    i might try a FIRST for me and try to shave with one hand ..lol... not to be funny but because i had surgery on my dominent hand and cant use it right yet ..lol

    i had picked up a pewter bowl a while back at a antique store , i used to set it in the sink in as hot of water as i could while i was in the shower , then make my lather in it as i ran fresh hot water in the sink then set the bowl back in for that warm lather effect .. something i went away from but after your post i think i will do it again on my next shave !!
