Thread: One, Two or Three Fingers?

I'll give you an answer later, after I shave , Maybe It will be later tonight or next morning, I betcha I'll hold one different if I'm not going to shave vs actually shaving with it.

2 fingers on top, ring finger on the monkey tail regardless of stroke direction. I find that if I don't have as many fingers as I can get on the blade it will want to jerk and skip through the thick coarse hair on my neck. So I put as many fingers on it as I can get, and tighten on up it like a vice to keep it from pivoting.

I hold a razor the same as a coffee cup. Which is to say whatever suits me at the moment.

All of them, three on the tang and the little finger on the monkey tail

two fingers on top and rng finger on the tail...I think in this way the razor has a good balance pressure.
When i use it against the grow of beard in the neck area (movements from down to up) usually I use on finger on top(forefinger), one on low(middle finger) and one on the shank(thumb)

Two on the tang, one on the tail with my pinky dangling free. That's how I roll.

Obie, by the thread title I thought you were talking about how big a pour our scotch is.

As for shaving I guess I use 2 fingers on top.

One, two or three fingers on a razor — who cares? I'll take three fingers of the scotch.

I use 2 on top of the shank in normal areas, (like my sideburns for example). 3 fingers on top of the shank usually happens around my chin area. It kind of gives me more control, reduces nicks. By the way, Obie, that's a good question to ask, I have not seen it come up in topic before.

I have never thought about it until this...I checked and I am a two finger on top shaver
