Are you Right handed or Left handed

[The Dean]

Right handed. Can do a few things left handed, but have always shaved right handed.

Strange thing. When practicing with the Bic last week, I noticed I had the most trouble with the RIGHT side of my face. Shaving the left side with my right hand felt very natural. Perhaps I should try shaving my right side with my left hand.

BTW, left-handers are the only people in their right minds.

+1 , Left hand only shaver.

 

[bemiller]

I'm right handed and find that I usually get more irritation on my left side due to pressure difficulties.

 

[Saxman11290]

I'm right handed and when I do a DE shave that's the only hand I use.

But when I use my straight I shave with both hands.

Same here

South paw.

 

[Redzone]

I am right handed but shave my left side with my left hand. It took a while but it wasn't that hard to learn

+1 but I was wondering how others get on, thanks for the thread.

 

[chilliman64]

I am righthanded - when shaving I use my right hand for the left side of my face/neck and the left hand for the right side. around the mouth I tend to use mostly the right hand.

 

[Searlands]

Right handed.

Would NOT dare to try and pick up my Merkur in my left hand.

 

[chris.hale]

I'm left handed for writing and shaving, but can do most other things with either hand.

 

[Simcon]

This sounds like a nice challenge, guess I shall try to shave with my left and and hope that all ends well. But I suppose it shouldn't be in a stressful morning, that wouldn't end well .

 

[jbradley]

A little of both, but my penmanship is bad enough I can say not much of either! I'm equally bad with either hand.

 

[CryptoDave]

I am right handed but my left hand is far more steady.

 

[ISO1600]

right handed, do 90% of my shaving that way as well.

 

[parsifal54]

Right handed in everything that I do...the thought of shaving with my left hand scares me...

 

[dimbulb71]

I'm a Lefty but I can shave with either and do what ever the situation calls for to make it easier on myself. Many Lefty's will probably agree, it's a right handed world out there, we just have adapted to be able to function in it. I do lots of things right handed because I had to train myself that way and now can't even do them left handed. (Ever see a left handed butter knife? I got my mother in-law to stop putting the "right handed" one on the table when I go to dinner at her home because she couldn't bear to watch me struggle with it...)

Butter knives are "handed"? Can't you just flip them over? I suppose an offset butter knife can be said to be handed.

But you are right, it is a right-handed world--we don't even think about some of this stuff. But I think, in the end, it benefits left handers who have learned to "survive". Can you pitch?

 

[thorimmortal]

Righty, I try to force my non dominant to task, we all know how hard it is to get the stubborn left to budge.

 

[FaPat5]

Right handed and sadly makes a huge difference when straight shaving.

 

[oldbluelight]

My left-handedness only matters when I want to use a pair of scissors or a measuring cup. Sinister people are used to adversity. I am right-eye dominant and for activities that require accuracy, shooting and fly casting predominantly, I use my right hand.
