Thread: Left Hand

I agree with the others. First and foremost, it's about not slicing your face to smithereens! If using your left hand increases the chance of this, use your right.

Having said that, if you can develop the left hand it's pretty useful (dare I say "handy"...sorry .) I don't know about anyone else, but I find some manoeuvres impossible without the left hand - for instance, going against the grain on the right side of my neck would be pretty tricky and cumbersome if I didn't use my left hand (although a change in grip can ameliorate this to some degree).
