New straight user with question
Hi there,
I have been a wet shaving all my life, been DE shaving the last three years and moved to starting out with a straight last weekend.
So far I can do a pass on my left cheek, not a perfect pass but improving, My biggest hurdle is my very dominant left handedness. Holding the razor in my right hand I can get the angle on my right cheek no problem but don’t have the dexterity to do a nice confident sweep. With my left hand holding the razor on my right hand side I just find it too clumsy and awkward.
I know the only answer is practise but does anyone have any tips to help me along? I have started DE shaving the right hand side of my face with my right hand and that is helping me gain strength and dexterity but is there anything else I can do or is it just patience and perseverance?
Any thoughts much appreciated and a great forum, I have learned a not from just using the search, you have built up a good knowledge base so thanks to everyone who contributes to this. I will try to help rather than hinder but I know nothing…..so to speak.
I do have a lot of knowledge about soaps, cream sand brushes which may or may not help someone one day.
Cheers.
Martin.
