Thread: Do you switch hands?

I switch hands.

It's difficult the first time but gets easier with every shave, and it's well worth the effort to learn.

Here's an interesting twist. I'm right handed. I shoot with a left eye dominant. Causes problems with my shooting, but seems to help switching hands shaving. Go figure. ... I shoot just as well left handed but doesn't feel natural. I shave left handed and it does. If I can survive my law enforcement career with only shaving requirements , I should be fine.

I switch hands, while i shaving. I can do the entire shave, face and neck, 3 passes with either hand but using both i tend to get a better shave.

I'm a southpaw and learned long ago ways to get things done in this right-handed dominated world.

I find that when i shve with my right hand the WTG pass seems just i lttle better than with the left, probably just because it takes more time. every thing is evened out when i'm done.

I am right handed and I also switch hands. I am still right hand dominate and share most of my face and neck right handed but I am working on using my left more. Only been using the straight for about a month and only on weekends. It take me a extra time with the straight but, I am getting faster and soon will be using it every morning.

I switch hands. I honestly tried to just use one hand when I started straight shaving and it kinda came natural to switch. Somebody here on the forum referred to hand switchers as shaving jedi's. Hence, the title under my handle. Heh.

I use the both hands, but stay right-dominant when it comes to places like under my nose and my chin. -shrug- I stay careful with my left hand just because I don't trust it so much.

Before I lost vision in my left eye I was right handed, left eye dominant, so I might've been able to switch hands prior to the vision loss. Now that I'm half blind and stove up from my accident I'm not comfortable switching hands, so I stick with my right. My opinion is that you shave how you're comfortable shaving and works best for you.

Have used both hands since the beginning, and committed to staying that way.

i can switch hands or i can also flip the razor and use it with my same hand. i also have a habit of holding it with the scales pointing straight out to the side, kinda like a japanese razor. whatever gives me the biggest advantage. i'm still a little shaky with the left hand when i switch but everytime i do it the motor skills get a little better. i have a cheap razor that so dull it can't possibly cut anything. i use it to practice going through the motions using both hands, has helped alot

Both is the way for me. It was a bit awkward at first but once I'd done it a few times it felt natural. At the moment I don't have a preferred shaving hand. You just get used to it.
