I hope she's not the jealous type or she'll mark you up to minimize your appeal to other women

On stropping - I proved to my own satisfaction that stropping can be eliminated and replaced by light honing on a smooth barber's hone like a swaty. The smooth hone removes virtually no metal, and serves to realign the edge very well. A big plus for you is that you can do it with one hand. It's not as fun or relaxing as stropping but it gets the job done.

On facial yoga - So that's what it's called. I don't stretch my skin with the other hand, but I do make the funny faces and move my skin under the blade sometimes. You might give this a try. It doesn't require two hands. If your wife sees you don't call it yoga. Tell her you're practicing making scary faces to frighten bad guys.

JL,

I once knew a guy with no arms who used to roll his own cigarettes with his feet. Where there is a will, there IS a way

Good luck

hmm...I wonder how many toes I would lose while shaving with my feet....if I could even reach my face lol..all while still looking in the mirror....man I could go on tour!

On a more serious note, if my wife holds the strop, I dont see why I could shave with one hand only. My other arm would be immobilized, so even if out of habbit I wanted to do something with that arm I wouldnt be able too.

I think I should be ok, but I'll do a run through next week and see how it goes...I dont know if I trust my wife shaving me...I think I would do a better job, even with just one hand lol

JL, all the best for the op. I've had a few, my left leg looks like a battle field.

As for shaving, don't. Simple.... just grow a beard for a couple of months. I've done military exercises where there was no washing, shaving, teethbrushing, smoking etc.. for 8 weeks so it's no biggy. The only difference is that you will smell nice at the end of it.

Let us know when you find out, I'm kind of curious about this myself.

Maybe you should try it and give me a full report

After my ankle operation I had to shave by puting my wifes makeup mirror on a closed toilet and sitting on the floor to shave as I couldn't stand up. I have to admit it would be hard with only one hand. How do you stretch the skin. Here is a thought have your wife shave you.

PS Good luck with the op.

stretching the skin would be out of the question, but when I started I did single passes with no skin stretching, and it wasnt horrible.
