Some guys use just their right (or favored) hand for shaving both sides of their face. I can't figure out how that's done, so I use my left hand for shaving some parts of my right half of my face, and most of the left side of my face.

Just a beginner myself, I mistakenly got a little cocky, started shaving a little too fast with my left hand, and gave myself a half inch long fairly deep slice, that has left a little scar. After that, I almost gave up, and when I did start using my straight again, my left hand would shake, I was so nervous.

My advice: before going all-in with your straight, PRACTICE with your left hand using your current disposable or double edge for a month to gain coordination and confidence with your off hand.
