    i am right hand dominant and like most found trying to us my left awkward. But give it a couple weeks and it is surprising how fast you adapt. Still does not feel perfectly natural but is certainly easier and not awkward feeling at all now.

    Funny Johnus cuts himself more on the right I now find that the side i use my left hand is a closer better shave. Maybe it is we concentrate more when using the non dominant hand

    It is strange, but it gets comfortable pretty quickly. Strangely I still use my right for both sides when I use a safety razor...go figure...

    I use both hands but cross-shave. I use the left hand to shave the right side of my face and my right hand for the left. I don't know how one can get to all the nooks and crannies without switching hands.

    I started practicing with a safety using both hands and I think that helped my transition.. it was also a bit safter as my hands tend to be a little shakey. Just starting out myself, but my left side of my face seems to be smoother even though I am less comfortable using that hand. Guess I have a more gentile touch since I'm not super confident still.
