What grip do you prefer.

I am more and more gravitating to slight variations of grip 9 and 10. I get a lot more control this way.

How do you pros hold your straight?

I dont like to over think it, I use what ever grip feels best for the pass im about to do.

I'm new too. I've had my best shave using 9 and 10. There is probably a place in my future for others, but I'm not ready yet. And, like Ambrose said, use what feels good at the time. I'm not sure I could replicate every stroke that gave me a good shave yet.

Not a pro, just a guy that likes to shave with a straight.

I use Grip 2 WTG and XTG, Grip 6 ATG.

I never think/thought about it (analyzed it). I know I have preferences.

I try to stay away from the tail, and I like to hold the tang, sometimes with my thumb on the spine on up passes. I don't touch the blade itself much.

I probably use grip #9 & #10 most.

I usually do 1, 3 and 10... I will have to try a few other grips... I tried 2 a while back but it didn't feel natural...

Thanks for the link!
