I did hold the razor sometimes with one hand, sometimes with both hands, depending on what king of strokes I was trying.
I'd say that I used one hand most of the time, especially on the later grits (5k and 8k).
I've been careful / I've tried not to add any extra pressure with the second hand but only to use it as a guide and way of keeping the spine in contact with the stone.
