I never thought of this!

By this reasoning, when my chef's knife gets dull, I can hold it in my left hand (or stand on the other side of the kitchen island) and it will cut just fine!

using your left hand makes it feel like someone else is doing it.

Only is you enjoy bleeding. Shaving introduces a smile shaped wear pattern, which is actually good. Flipping it turns it into a frown of skin shredding corners.

Actually, if you turn your left hand around it's kind of nice.

if you turn the blade over it still won't make a difference. Its the edge you shave with, and its the edge that is being used regardless of which side your blade is on.

"The peppermill" sounds more like "indian burn". Lends new meaning to "cranking your nads", though.

Of course we were talking about shaving. I was referring to the shaving brush.
