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

I use both hands. I find it very hard to get close shaves when I try to get areas with only one hand, especially if I have to cross over to the other side of my neck. etc.

You may have seen my thread: No Southpaws here... I'm not sure if this was some inspiration for the poll, however, I shave with my dominant right hand. I am not a fan of lefty shaving for me.

Xman... can you contribute here...

Cheers

I shave with my right hand only.

Never felt the need to use both hands, my single handed technique is somewhat different to every one elses I've seen. I physically switch the direction of the razor, I don't just roll my wrist over - the thought hadn't occured to me lol.

I still think grips are the key, whether you use both hands or one. I use 4, and I have an asymmetric shave, not split down the middle of my face.

Sounds very familiar...

One of my greatest "halleluja" moments was the day I tried going across the grain on my cheeks with the "wrong" hand (i.e., left hand for right cheek, right hand for left cheek). WOW! What a difference!

Both hands here.

I use both "mostly"... I'm still learning though so my dominant tends to take over when I'm in a rough spot or get frustrated.

I use both. I can't find a way to get everything with just my right hand!

I guess I'm in the minority. I shave with my dominant hand, which is my left hand. That makes me an outlier among outliers.

I feel very special.

I use both hands. When I first started, I had every intention of using one hand (right) only. When I was putting the razor to my face for the first time, the contortions required to use one hand just didn't feel right so I tried using my left hand for the uncomfortable spots...Never tried shaving one handed again.
