Thread: Do you change hands?

Right hand on right side, left hand on left side, with the exception of XTG on left side of neck is right hand.

So far I am in the minority. I do not switch. Never got comfortable using my right hand. Lefties are special I guess. I have found what works for me. Usually do 2 or three pass shaves. This like many things in this hobby is another example of how there is a million ways to arrive at a smooth face.

34+ years of shaving with a SR and NOPE

I barely trust my left hand to hold down the meat on the plate to cut it, let alone with my Hollywood face

Dang Glen! Im surprised... a veteran blade runner like yourself.. single hand?
con una sola mano? Einhand? одной рукой? ... ... ... 片手シングル???
Im shocked and appalled! hehehe just joking.
Im actually curious now, because guys I thought would use two hands, well turns out some use one and vise versa.
My whole world has been turned upside down. I now need to question everything!
I use both hands. And question that decision everyday. But I wont give up... even if I end up looking like Two Face on Batman movie.. lmao

Your post on switching hands is comforting. I'm about to start SR shaving and I too use my left primarily for holding meat before cutting! :-)

Ditto. I do the same.

I think the 66's are about half the price of the 208.

I did that with 7$ Pakistani razor, ended up putting electrical tape on it.
As to ther poll question. No I dont change hands but I'm very new to this and just got my practice razor so hopefully soon I'll be confident enough to give my left hand a chance to maul my face.
