    As for using the non-dominant hand, I managed to get used to it by practicing holding the razor in my non-dominant hand while not shaving. If I was browsing the net, watching TV, or listening to music I would practice holding the razor in my hand and sometimes make strokes in the air with it nowhere near my face.
    Thanks for your feedback! I have been battling the skin irritation since my first shave (today was my second shave).

    Anyhoo....yeah I'll be giving it a try. Thanks again.

    I've used the Nivea, and it worked OK. I'd recommend getting some witch hazel when you start out. It works miracles for me cooling and healing razor burn, and I have really, really sensitive skin.
