Thread: What's the benefit to ambi-shaving??

I've always shaved with my right hand, and as previously stated, there is no wrong way. What's ever comfortable for you. If you want to practice using your non dominant hand, Try brushing your teeth with it everyday until it becomes comfortable. This may help....

I see two interpretations of "ambi-shaving" in these responses. One is to be able to shave the entire face with the non-dominant hand, as a "back-up" to shaving the entire face with the dominant hand, in the event the latter was incapacitated. The benefit of that is obvious, even if not frequently needed. The other interpretation is to mirror what one does with the dominant hand on a particular side of the face, with the non-dominant hand on the other side of the face. I see the benefit here is to be able to duplicate exactly what works best for a particular patch of face and direction of shave, assuming symmetry.
