Good points have been made. If something happens to your dominant hand it is good to have a backup. I find it easier to use both hands but I wouldn't get focused on doing it a certain way. Find what works for you. Hit the easy button. If you are cutting yourself up back off for a while. Maybe come back to it later as your overall confidence grows. The very cool 1905 shaving manual (which you can find in the beginners forum - thanks again Lucky Cynic) shows it all being done with the right hand.
