Thread: Are you a lefty or a righty?

How many people out there are right or left handed.....but are more comfortable using their other hand when shaving their face?

This is an odd discovery of mine that I am more comfortable shaving more of my face with my left hand....even though I cant really do anything else left handed.

Dominant right handed, here, and can't use my left hand for anything other than using a straight. It's interesting what you say because I pretty much fall in to this category, too. What I find is that it's easier to stretch the skin with my right hand, giving a more natural feel to my left holding the razor. Very strange, but true.

I use both hands about equally shaving with a SR.

Right handed , shave with Both hands equally , but for 40 years with my DE I use only the right and still do after 2 years with a straight. Just noticed it a couple weeks ago when I went on a 3 day bike ride, never thought about it but as I was shaving I started shaving my face and never changed hands with my DE, old habits but I use both when shaving with. Straight. Tc

Lefty. Shave with both. Some days both hands are great, some days only one seems to do what I want usually the left but occasionally the right.

I write with my left hand, but shoot and bat right handed, I golf left but can put either, when doing millwork I can scribe left or right handed, I shave using both. There are some people who are so dominant on one side than the other that is is very difficult for them. My mother injured her dominant arm and could not even operate a vacuum with her other. One of those jokes left handed people tell, if you want to see confusion give a right handed person a left handed pair of scissors. I think a big part of it is hardwired in our brain and there is nothing we can do about it, however we can learn new things, and it is fairly easy for some and other have a really tough time of it because of the wiring.

am pretty decent at using both, although left-handed, on my right-side neck is a bit wonky....

shave with my right only. i have very little dexterity in my left hand, though it has stronger gripping force than my right, which i find odd.

I'm left-handed. Most southpaws are pretty good with both hands. it's just a consequence of living in a right handed world. In many places as a child you are either encouraged or forced to use the right hand for a variety of stupid reasons. There are many out there who think of themselves as right handed but are really born left handed but were forced to be right handed.

I do my stropping with my right hand. if I use my left it feel very awkward.

I'm right handed. I shave using both hands about equally. Oddly, I've felt just as comfortable with the razor in either hand from the very beginning.
