Thread: One hand, or Two?

I use both hands too, but only to shave under my chin. It can get a bit crowded on the razor, but if you can get the digits to share the blade in a harmonious fashion, no harm will be done. Otherwise I use my left hand to shave the right side of my face and my right hand to shave the left side...

Just kidding. It's left for the left and right for the right

Both hands here. I mainly use my off hand to get at hard-to-reach places that I couldn't get safely with my other hand(mostly XTG). Otherwise, it's mostly my dominant hand.

Its always better to use two hands not only because you can better maneuver the razor around your face but when you expand your horizons and try a traditional japanese straight you have to use two hands.

Hey ,this is a great opportunity to train the other side of the brain to do what you want it to do. Two handed so you can see what the hell you're doing. It doesn't take long to feel your way through it.

Two, that's all I've got.

When I use my left hand, it feels like someone else is shaving me...

I use my dominant hand for about 65% of the shaving, but part of my neck really requires that I use the opposite hand to keep the angle right to really remove the stubble.

Thats pretty cool. I thought that I would get the exact opposite responses. This is pretty good information. I guess I am going to try to train both hands before I get into any type of habits. Thanks for the input Gents.

I use both hands... and never more than 6 razors for one shave! if you fell the urge to use more than that... put the razor down!

2 hands. took me a little bit to get comfortable with one, but now on certain parts, i prefer my 2nd(left) hand. makes life much easier when you get the comfort level up.

i still cannot strop with my left hand, but i am okay with that. now that would be talent.
