Thread: Do you use right and left hand to hold DE razor

Ok just have to ask a question. With my straight I use both hand to shave. My right hand for the right side of my face, and my left hand for the left side. The exception is ATG on the neck, I use the opposite hand.

Do most people use 2 hand with their DE?

Thanks

I use both hands when I shave with a DE. Definitely. Right side, right hand; left side, left hand.

I use both hands as well......

Didn't use to, but after learning both hands with the straight razor, it was a natural.

Have fun,

Right hand only. I fooled with both with a straight but have gotten so used to shaving with the right that I am just sticking with it one way or the other. No more DE for me in years but if I were to pick one up again it would be dominant hand.

Every now and then, when I am traveling, I really like my little Schick Injector with the bakelite handle. Not sure if that qualifies as a DE, but it is a fun razor that does a respectable shave.

Have fun,

Never tried using my left hand with a DE. When I was using cartridges I only used my right so when I transitioned ot DE's I never thought to use my left. Even now that I'm starting to use straigts as well, and I use both with that, when I pick up a DE it's right hand only. The reason being I think it's a lot easier to manipulate a DE with one hand to cover all areas then it is with a straight.

I only use my right hand (my dominant hand) to shave with a DE. I've never tried my left hand.

Only my right hand which i just do naturally.

Back in the mid twentieth century when the DE was all there was, I used only my right hand. I haven't used one of those in a good 30 years. Since discovering straights, I haven't used anyhing else. It's unlikely I will.

Gentlemen:

For the straight razor I use both hands and for the double edge mostly the right hand.
