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.

Lefty - I switch hands while shaving. There are some awkward angles and spots I will stick to my left hand but that's more because of how my beard grows on neck

Ambi... comfortable with both lol

Left handed. Shave with both....not as good with the right yet.

Seems there are a lot of lefties on here. Maybe just because they are answering? Or is it something more....
