Is their a Right hand right face left hand left Face? Or it does not matter?
Thanks everyone
I use both, & most do, but you can learn to shave very successfully with just the one.
I try to use right and left but I find my self just using the Right.
You will probably find a lot of different answers to that question.
I use both hands. Right hand on right side when going WTG, left hand for right side going XTG( from the ear towards my mouth) right hand on right side when i go in the opposite direction. Against the grain, I do a little of both, depending on where I'm shaving.
I only hold the razor with my right hand, and I have a shaving method that works very well for me that way.
The way I always think about it is if you find something that works for you, keep doing it.
Great ! that makes me feel better I just thought I was the only one J
I use right hand only..as I had an injury @ birth..but thats ok..I could probably shave with my str8 razor with my right hand without looking..prolly..though haven't tested..but I know I could if I had to... :nj

Here's a good one showing both hands. Tongue in cheek, but pretty skilled with a razor.

Here's another showing how to get round with the use of just one.

Both chaps have been active members here at one time or another. They may be useful to you.
I'd try two, & keep trying. It actually makes things easier once you're comfortable with it.
You can help things along by getting the non dominant hand to do more everyday tasks. That can help if you're not entirely comfortable trusting it to take one of the keenest edges a man can produce & forcing it learn how to apply the correct pressure to your throat to enable it to remove stubble without drawing blood right away!
Joking aside, muscle memory is formed fairly quickly.
wow!..good job!..you put my thoughts to the test!....
I only face stretch and it works ;-)..my oily skin and injury makeit hard to hand stretch..but thats ok :needcoffee:

great stuff :) thanks everyone that helps allot
I only use my right hand. Tried my left but i am not confident with it. I shave pretty well. There are probably a few spots that could be done better but overall a good shave
I Feel the same :) thanks
I'm right handed. Never used my left hand for anything but playing my guitar when I was in the Navy. Following advice, I gave my left hand a try. It was awkward at first, but after a few weeks it became second nature.
Why not give it an honest try? I'm sure glad I did!
Namaste,

You're my "go-to" one handed shaving man, X!
Fish4life,
I started one handed but after a few months decided to use both hands. It is pretty daunting to start with, as I am not ambidextrous, but with perseverance it is now just as easy either way. You just have to do it. Most of the time I shave is late in the evening after loading up on red !!
Cheers and good luck !!

PS you will find great satisfaction in training your non dominant hand !!:beer2:
I use my Right hand following "what every man should know book" ...i now use left for some very small touch ups on the left side of my face. But i could do all with my right if i had too! just using the book above!
Bite the bullet. Learn to use both hands. Easiest if you start from the
get go.
