Thread: Ambidextrous Shaving

First off I'm left handed so I have had to learn to use my right hand to do a lot of things anyways but just to get some good practice in I started going for the ambidextrous shave about a year ago. Seems like it took me a week but after that it was no big deal.

Still learning, but so far, left vs. right hasn't been that much of a difference. I do have a tendency to do more with my right (dominant hand), but as soon as I feel myself reaching or thinking I need to contort to get somewhere . . . oh, hey left hand!

When I voted on this poll, I chose the second category (non-dominant 25%). But that was an error; I should have chosen the both hands category.

I'm curious to know how many folks shave the way I do: I use both hands...on both sides of my face. Some areas and strokes are just easier to do with one or the other hand.

I tried just using my dominant hand for the first couple times because until then I had no faith in my left hand. generally it's just there to meek me look symmetrical and help balance me. I actually did a couple good cuts that way. then I figured I already got over the fear of cutting myself and gave it a go using both. it was a short learning curve and I have yet to nick myself with my left hand.
