Shaving

anything involving a mirror, actually. That extra element of 'reversal' totally confounds what little abilities my left hand has.

Try it with a straight razor. It gets easier over time though.

this is just asking for trouble for most people.

I like both my ears, thank you very much...

I think I shave with both hands (with a safety razor) but I honestly can't remember. Is that weird?

I think that no matter what the consensus of OOT is about using one vs. both hands, it's definitely weird that you don't remember. When was the last time you shaved?

lol, it was a while ago I guess. I've been using a beard-trimmer with no guard for the last year or two and only clean-shaving for special days like my wedding...

I definitely use both hands when using the beard trimmer, but it's not too ackward.

Personally, I'd say that using a beard trimmer with both hands counts as shaving w/ both hands.

alright, if we're calling it that.

I think the amount of dexterity required to not cut myself with a beard trimmer is much less than for a razor.

One other one.. if you spent any time training for boxing as a youth, it's actaully more natual (for me at least) to through a punch with your non-dominant hand.

For me it's cause of all the jabbing that was drilled into my head. You end up throwing 10-15 left handed jabs for every right, so you just get conditioned to throw puches with your left hand.

Even though I'm old now, if I'm play fighting with a couple of buddies the first reaction is a lefthand shot to their arm. Funny, cause I'm otherwise useless with my left-hand.

Odd the things that stay with us when conditioned young.

*UPDATE* So I was totally wrong... I definitely DON'T use both hands when using a beard trimmer, and I doubt I do when shaving either...
