    Since I'm right-handed, The two area's I have difficulty reaching are the left side of my neck; in the crook, & the area to the upper-left of my nose.

    Watch some videos and see how others do it. There are plenty of videos here on the forums or youtube. Or maybe go non dominant hand just for that section.

    I do, all the time. Began rather shaky, but its second nature now.

    Cool

    Less than two months, but still on one hand.

    I'll have to give it a try and use the dumb hand!

    Default Both here too!

    Definately both from the start. Find it so much easier to be using the same overall strokes and views for both sides.
    My cheek XTG starts from my ear and down to the edge of the goatee. Possibly even better using the non-dominant as I'm that bit more careful of my angle and stroke pressure.

    I decided when I started with straights that I would learn to use both hands as recommended. It was tricky at first but no problem now.

    Default It's a must

    I don't think that I could get a decent shave without
    using both hands.

    Good luck!
