Thread: Do you shave with one hand, or both?

Both, but my left hand is a work in progress. My beard grows in so many directions that it takes a "multi-faceted" approach!

Right hand all the way i can hold steadier and its all i need, i learned on the one purposefully.

Also in the dominant hand group.

I use both, but I'm still tuning my off hand technique (well, in honesty I guess I'm still tuning up my technique on both hands ).

My first 5 shaves I used my right hand only, I thought it would be cool if I could use both hands so I taught myself early on , and now its very easy for me to use both hands. The other day I tried to just use my right hand to shave and I had a hard time.

I started with just one hand, but I often ended up with uneven side burns. So I decided to try it. The only place it feels awquard it on the right side of my chin. The whole shave is just so much easier when I can use both hands.

I use both hands. I got my first str8 a few years ago, but had no idea what I was doing and just used my dominant (right) hand. Once I found SRP and got serious, I decided to use both hands. I just did the cheeks WTG for a bit, then added more area and XTG and ATG. I eased into it and now I don't even think about which hand I'm using. It would be difficult for me to shave with only one hand.

I shave with both hands: the right wields the razor and the left stretches the skin. Never felt the need to switch hands, but I do use 4 different grips.

I use both hands (right dominant) for holding the razor and stretching. Some things I have always been able to do better with my left hand, shaving is not one of them though!

Like everything else, it is a learning curve and I am quite confident with my left hand now. Without being sexist here I wonder if the ladies adapt more quickly to using both hands due to leg shaving

I am right dominant, but use both hands with a straight razor. The learning curve is similar to fishing. Most right handed people use a right sided handle on a bait casting reel, but switch instinctively to a left handled spinning reel.
