Switchin hands while De Shaving?

Always switch hands and stretch skin coming from straights

Aah there's a plus to this,I think.

My hat is off to you keto .  I’ve had three significant shoulder surgeries and I just grew a beard. It’s amazing how many things are challenging to do left/non-dominant handed or single handed. Buttons, shoelaces, flossing, wiping your butt, writing, eating, cracking an egg, dressing etc. Do your rehab diligently like it’s your job and follow the staged rehab instructions and you have a chance at a fully functional, pain free joint/limb. After my first surgery in 2000 the surgeon said that it had been a major repair and the only thing he could have done more major would have been a total joint replacement. I went on YouTube to see what that entails   Yeah I don’t want that. I wish you all the best in your recovery

Mine was similar Mark. Surgeon referred me and had Disability contact me to file. I can't live on what they'd give me and said I'm still working......in constant pain, but still working. Best wishes on a total recovery Keith

Sometimes a person don't know which way to go so I'm on this bus let's see where it goes. Thanks

Dave I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe you could use a joint replacement? I know in my case they said 6-9 month rehab but it was more like a year. I rehabbed hard because I was scared it wouldn’t ever get right but it did and I’m pain free with full range of motion. Shoulder pain is something. I’ve had shoulder surgery and a hip replacement. Shoulder surgery hurts more. Going in for the first surgery was easy because I had no idea what to expect. Going in for the second and third surgeries was hard. The last thought before they put you under is I’m going to be waking up to a world of hurt. But it gets better. You’re on the right bus keto

Sounds like you've been through plenty, this is my 3rd surgery on the right side.
    Yeah Dave's holdin' out and thats exactly what I did too.
  I thought hope I wake up, at surgery time.  Lord help me please!

I recently lost the use of my Right side and dominant shaving hand. 
This was because of a well needed total shoulder replacement.
 For 4 weeks I was in a sling while it healed. 
   Thanks to a shaving buddy's encouragement I went for a left arm shave.
 I started using my left arm and a mild Superspeed razor but it sure felt dangerous. The shaves improved as days went on until I was getting fairly close shaves.
   After a month the sling is off and I've got the Dr's approval to shave with the new shoulder side (right side). The arm is gonna take a bit of therapy to loosen up, it's a tight stretch to my face at this moment.
 
 I'm wondering how many guys alternate hand during a DE shave, and reasons.
 Should I continue using my opposite hand as a newer sort of skill develops , and why?

So glad to hear you are doing well!

Thanks Eric.

I can shave with my non-dominant hand...but my movements tend to be
more deliberate and slow...I also feel that my grip on the razor is not
entirely stable.

I have a far easier time switching hands with a straight...almost effortless.

Yep I'm still pretty slow and deliberate.

I think switching hands with a DE razor (slow and deliberate) has also resulted in me putting unnecessary pressure
on strokes, so I generally avoid doing this....but it's good to be ready in case some problem makes it necessary 
to switch hands.

But this a matter of developing feel and technique not intrinsically a result of being ambidextrous as a shaver

Yea I suppose the more you practice the easier it gets.

I made myself learn to use my opposite hand a couple years ago to shave that side of my face, and when I was first getting used to it I found that I was doing great with not using pressure and just focusing on angle/technique (cuz I didn’t want to butcher myself). 
But I think that now that I’m comfortable with that hand, I’ve gotten lazy and use pressure when I shouldn’t

So you regularly use both hand for DE?
