I believe it was Lynn that recommended that someone new to SR shaving start by JUST doing sideburns to jawline initially. It is excellent advice. I followed that recommendation and I can say that it really helped getting myself comfortable with using the razor. If you plan on taking that advice, I would recommend that you also attempt to use both hands. If you are finding it SO awkward that you simply can't do it, switch to one hand. But I would attempt to get both hands moving before you venture from sideburns simply because you don't want to teach yourself habits that will need to be reversed if you can avoid it. I've heard of some guys doing their entire shave with one hand. If you're lucky enough to be able to manage that, fantastic. But most of us can't. There are certain blade angles and directions that I need to perform that I can only do with one hand or the other. Try to get in the habit of using both from the start if you can. Its going to be awkward no matter what hand you start with so you might as well give it an early shot. If you stick to doing just sideburns, you'll probably be fine. Path, follow path.
