I have just received my new Japanese and I was surprised to see that it has a bend in it. The handle is set up so that it is really easy to shave right handed, but when you try to use the razor left handed it turns over in your hand. Just to clarify I am not talking about the way that the blade is ground, but in the way that it is made. If you lay the razor down by the handle on a table then the tip of the blade is about 3/8 inch off the table if the flat side is laying downward.

I am looking for information on how to use this since it is not flat like I was expecting.
