Thread: Do any 'both' handed straight shavers transfer that ability to DE shaving?

I'm right handed but as recommended I've trained myself to shave left handed part of the time with a straight and it's now, nearly, 2nd nature.

However, I have never really tried using a DE or SE razor left handed, has anyone here transferred the both handed concept to DE's or SE's?

I use both hands.

I started with a DE, shaved with both hands, and do the same with straights.

Hello, Jeltz:

Yes, I switch hands selectively with the double edge safety razor, too, and it works just fine for me.

Regards,

i shave with both hands also.

I have tried using both hands with a DE but it seems harder than it is with a straight, so I just use my right hand with a DE

I can shave with my DE using my dominant hand only, just as I did when I started shaving years ago with disposables, or I can shave "symmetrically" much as I do with a straight razor. I somewhat prefer the latter, as I follow the essentially the same three-pass shaving pattern I use with a straight.

I normally just shave with one hand when using a DE but now I want to re-learn with the both now that I use a straight.

I shave utilizing both hands when using a straight razor, yet shave with my right hand only with safety razors. It just feels right to me.

Both Hands with Straights, but main hand with DE.
I may have to go back and try it again once I get more practiced with my straights.
