Thread: Do any 'both' handed straight shavers transfer that ability to DE shaving?

I'm right handed but as recommended I've trained myself to shave left handed part of the time with a straight and it's now, nearly, 2nd nature.

However, I have never really tried using a DE or SE razor left handed, has anyone here transferred the both handed concept to DE's or SE's?

I use both hands.

I started with a DE, shaved with both hands, and do the same with straights.

Hello, Jeltz:

Yes, I switch hands selectively with the double edge safety razor, too, and it works just fine for me.

i shave with both hands also.

I have tried using both hands with a DE but it seems harder than it is with a straight, so I just use my right hand with a DE

I switch hands whenever I shave myself no matter the tool. What's odd is that I have a crippling dominance while shaving the wife. Its almost like my left hand is worthless and honestly a little scary. This is for any tool.

I shave with both hands also. It's just much more comfortable.

Jeltz,

Despite using both hands with my straights, I still use only my right hand with safety razors

Have fun !

Best regards

Russ

Do any 'both' handed straight shavers transfer that ability to DE shaving?

Yes, I do. I use most tools, including my Colt 1911s, with either hand.
