    Rich,
    Something about your post and that smiley tells me this thread about what hand we use for what is going to take a different turn. <g>

    I do both sides of my face with both hands, not at the same time.

    I do the rear part of the face with the hand on the same side. When I come close to the mouth, I switch hands and turn the razor around. That lets me use the point of the razor near the ears and around the mouth and chin.

    As a newbie, when I do use a straight, I use whatever hand feels "natural"!

    Get your minds out of the gutter, what I mean is the hand that offers the most control!

    Yeah, I know what you are thinking. Just remember, someone else opened the door for this...I just closed it!

    I use both hands... I pretty much just do what Lynn does on his shaving video. I don't know how guys just use one hand for the whole face.

    I am currently using my left hand for my whole face. There are a few contortions involved, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get a S-N neck pass on the dominant (left for me) side. I have no control with the thumb on the spine. I can do the cross side easily though.

    I do it with the dominant hand and razor pointing backwards. On the other side I reach across and use my dominant hand. I just don't have enough manual dexterity in my off hand.

    It's amazing that once you get used to using both hands, you find yourself using both hands for more things than just shaving. Pretty cool! Lynn
