deano said:Okay, all this right hand/left hand manure doesn't even relate to my shaving experience. I started out with a pretty good straight razor and after a few transfusions, gave up straight razor shaving. Then, the more I read, the more I decided I failed at Honing 101 and I was trying to shave with a blunt hunk of metal.
Then, I was at my barber, who shaved my neck with a straight razor and I asked him what he used......a straight razor with replaceable blades. AHAAH!! You learn something new every day. Maybe I could get away from having a dull blade. I bought a stainless steel Parker and started using it a few days ago (I have a beard, so my shaving is mostly trimming). First time I cut under my nose and like to bled to death. Shaved tonight and only had a small abrasion. I have finally discovered the trick....CARE. You cannot shave with the same carelessness you do with a safety razor. Right hand/left hand is miles away for me. Backwards with my right hand is as far as I can go.
I'm getting there!
