Thread: One hand, or Two?

One hand here! No problem seeing while shaving either!!

Just the one hand with me too. I thought about training for two, but really I have no issues with one handed approach so figured that was just fine.

There was a poll conducted on SRP last year if I recall... A search should turn it up.

[Edit: nope, can't seem to locate it. Is there some way we can search and bring up all past polls?]

I use both my hands. Before, back in the Days of Shame, when I used a disposable, I used both hands. I'm pretty sure I've been using both hands since I started shaving as a kid. I can't imagine how someone would shave the left side of their face with their right hand

I use just one hand....

never seen the need to use two......

Both hands. It took about a month to get used to using both hands and now it seems natural and I don't really notice any difference between them.

I use both now. I'm right handed so the first shave with the left hand was scary, but now I cut myself more with the right.

I go for the two handed approach. Its easier even though the left is not quite so agile. There are some strokes I could do better with my left at a less awkward angle, but i risk cuts more so I use the weird stroke and my right for those

Thanks for those links.

I too use both hands. Although about 90% dominant and 10% off hand. It's real scary to use the off hand for me; it always works out okay though.

When shaving the opposite side of my face I had a hard time seeing what I was doing. I can see an argument for both styles but wanted to see what you guys had to say on the matter. I'm waiting for my DVD, then I will see what I can do from there. Thanks for the input.
