    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

    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

    Guess I must be the freak of the clan. I shave the left side with the right hand and vice versa. I also shave against the grain so I am going from the jaw line up toward my eye. So my hand is never in front of my eyes and I can see the blade for the entire stroke, same for the neck. Neckline to chin/jaw line.

    On ATG I use left for right but still right for right. I guess I could use my left hand more but I feel better using the right

    My handedness is a general muddle; I e.g. write and play guitar left-handed, but do many other things right-handed. That relative ambidextrousness makes hand-swapping shaving pretty painless, so both hands for me, with all duties being shared equally or as desired
