When I first started wet shaving, I tried to use both hands, but found that do to an old elbow injury, I found that after a few minutes, my fingers would become numb. At first, I just continued shaving until one time on a business trip I gave myself a nice 2 1/2 inch gash on my cheek. After the gash healed, I set out to figure out how to shave with only my right hand. I'm proud to say that as of today I have over 300 one-handed shaves. It may take me a few minutes longer, but for the most part these are nick free and BBS.
