Thanked: 0Left Hand?
I just started SR shaving (one of those lucky guys that gone one as a gift). I've seen some videos where they shave using their left (non-dominant hand), is this the norm? I'm having a hard time entrusting my left hand with something like this....

No worries. It takes alot of time just to start feeling comfortable holding a straight and even longer using your other hand. Keep at it and it will become easier.

Re: Left Hand?
It definitely gets easier with practice. Pay attention to what you are doing, though. I have gotten a pretty nasty cut on my left cheek when I let my attention wander. I never was good at using my left hand.

Thanked: 3this is one area where being left-handed has helped me I think as a noob. Lefties are much more accustomed to using the "off" hand than righties, because so much of the world demands it.
Probably no help for you, sorry.

Thanked: 2284Some guys only shave with one hand, but I forced myself to learn using both because its proper and in the long run, easier. Here's an example of one of the guys from here, doing his thing.

Left Hand?
I am great at using my left (I'm a lefty lol), my right is still shaky. Here is xALIx shaving with one of his razors. I wouldn't copy his technique, but use it as a guide to figure out your own method if you want to just use one hand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0V5d...e_gdata_player
