Thread: Are You a Switch Hitter?

I switch hands with all razors, straight or safety.

Interestingly enough, I do not switch hands when using safety razors, but I do switch hands with a straight razor.

I can switch or not when using a safety razor. I really don't think about it anymore.

I switch with a SR but not with a DE. I am not sure why.

I do with a safety, rarely with a straight, but on occasion. It is much easier to get the right side of my neck under the ear with the left hand.

I think the pattern here is most people switch with straights and don't with a de. I fit into that category.

I'm the same, only ambidextrous with the straight.

When I was considering my SR conversion, I read that learning to use both hands would be helpful. So I started brushing my teeth with my off hand. Been shaving, both SR and DE with both now for years.

Gentlemen,

I just remembered: I switch hands when lathering, too — right hand right side, left hand left side. I think switching hands when shaving has become a habit, and a good one, I might add.

Yes I switch hands with a straight razor but only use my right hand with a DE.
