Thread: Left, Right, Both or One Over the Other

My left hand is allowed to pull the skin on my face taught while my right hand does all the real work. Basically that is all lefty is good for being a clumsy oaf

I have felt equally comfortable using both hands while SR shaving from day one.
Haven't shaved with a D/E in years.

It was fairly easy for me to adapt to shaving left handed with a straight but not totally accident free. I spent a few years in the martial arts which taught me to use both right and left hands & feet equally. That training was very helpful years later when playing drums in a local country/rock band. I can honestly say I'm more successful shaving with a straight razor than I was playing drums............

Weird for me, my father was a leftie, mom right-handed, people have commented on how my knife and fork seems to change hands several times during a meal, I wear my watch on my right hand, so for me, using either hand has always been relatively easy. When I started, I just naturally used separate hands to shave.

I used to juggle a lot as a kid. Took up guitar in my twenties. Most of my vehicles have been straight drives. So, I guess all this prepared me to shave with both hands.

I've watched videos in which guys that use only one hand are more skilled than I, so whatever drives the nail is called the hammer.

I am pretty much the same way. I eat, write, fish and shoot pool with my left. Pretty much everything else is right handed.
One thing that gets people who know me, is I shoot rifles left handed and pistols with my right. I can switch up with either, but not as accurate
