How to hold your razor and what hand to use?
So I have been shaving with a straight for almost three months now. I'm holding my razor like recommended and uses my right hand on my right side and vice versa.
It works somewhat ok for my right side just feeling a little awkward but my left side is a pain overall. I'm getting decent or good enough results on the left side and are quite happy with my right side but I do not feel comfortable holding the razor the way I do.
So after the shave I was trying a few different things. I came up with something that seemed like it could work. I hold the razor like I guess you would hold a Kamisori, the scales in line with the blade. I then only use my right hand on both sides of my face. Without actually shaving it seemed to give me much better control and stability, felt more comfortable and didn't obstruct my vision as much.
Is there any one else that shaves like this or is there a reason why you shouldn't?
