Switchin hands while De Shaving?

My hat is off to you keto .  I’ve had three significant shoulder surgeries and I just grew a beard. It’s amazing how many things are challenging to do left/non-dominant handed or single handed. Buttons, shoelaces, flossing, wiping your butt, writing, eating, cracking an egg, dressing etc. Do your rehab diligently like it’s your job and follow the staged rehab instructions and you have a chance at a fully functional, pain free joint/limb. After my first surgery in 2000 the surgeon said that it had been a major repair and the only thing he could have done more major would have been a total joint replacement. I went on YouTube to see what that entails   Yeah I don’t want that. I wish you all the best in your recovery

Mine was similar Mark. Surgeon referred me and had Disability contact me to file. I can't live on what they'd give me and said I'm still working......in constant pain, but still working. Best wishes on a total recovery Keith

Sometimes a person don't know which way to go so I'm on this bus let's see where it goes. Thanks

Yep it's amazing what you do with one hand, even how dirty a hand gets if it's not scrubbed with the other hand. Lol
Thanks

Always switch hands and stretch skin coming from straights

Me too.
From SR habit.
One of the many useful skills from learning to use and hone a straight razor.

Interesting thread. Hate to hear about your shoulders men, all of you. Bad shoulders is bad news strictly judging from my wife's issues.

I have never used a skrait, but I have admired them from afar. Until this thread, it never occurred to me that one must be amphibious to use such. Being a total right hander, I am out now. My left arm is fully function but not good for a lot. Ha. Holding you long enough to punch you with a right is about it.

At one time, I pondered a thread for a 30 day non dominant DE challenge of sorts. However that would only be 3 or 4 shaves for me so not much point. Total, permanent loss of use and I may go lefty. Short of that, I'm growing a beard and scratching it left handed. I'm a good lefty scratcher. These best, per my dogs.

Lol I've never attempted straights either and admire the guys that jump into their use.

I can shave with my non-dominant hand...but my movements tend to be
more deliberate and slow...I also feel that my grip on the razor is not
entirely stable.

I have a far easier time switching hands with a straight...almost effortless.

Yep I'm still pretty slow and deliberate.

Several years ago, I learned how to shave with my left hand (non-dominant) when I started shaving with straight razors. It took a while, but I got really good at switching hands.

The skill came in handy when I started sharpening kitchen knives on whetstones. It's something I do on daily basis.

That's pretty slick about knife sharpening. 
  This morning I thought about eating my cereal with two spoons, just because. Lol It was a strange thought but a real one.

In preparation (some day...) for trying a straight razor, I began shaving the side of the face with the corresponding hand. It now feels quite natural.

Another benefit is to exercise the brain to improve/maintain cognitive abilities.

My brain always needs exercise, I wore my  shoulders out weightlifting.
