That's how I learned to handle a str8. It is a great way to learn how to handle this instrument without the danger of cutting yourself.

Using the left hand on the left side really helps with the stretching.

Stretching with your left hand on the left side all the while holding your razor with the right hand looks very strange!

Try using the heel of your left hand just on the temple to stretch the skin on the left side of your face. It's alot easier for me that way.
