Shaving

As any male can attest, shaving is a laborious chore. With an electric shaver, which I have used exclusively since I had my stroke, it is a royal pain and does not give a close shave.

Shaving manually with a blade (Gillette Mach III) and Gillette Foamy) is WAY more exacting and fraught with danger, especially if you're right-handed but are using your left arm-hand because your right one was paralysed by the stroke you had. Doh!

For the first time since that stroke, I tried it today. Save one small cut, I survived it by shaving with my left hand -- VERY slowly. To be clear, I am right-handed. But my right side, including my right hand-arm, is partially paralysed.

Or paralyzed in Americun.

    Let me be the first to congratulate you, Spaceship Orion. Onward and upward, as someone famous must have once said.

Be critical. Disagree, if you want. But don't be abusive.
