Technique Question

    When shaving with an injector is there a certain technique that you use. I find that after using it for several days that a "blade buffing" East West pass tends to finish the job. However, I have a weak hand problem in that I shave left handed and the right side of the jaw line always seems to be rough or have ingrowns that are cut out.

    Thoughts?

    Crossover shaving problems is common. A lot of right handed shavers have problems with the left side. Razor angle is usually the culprit and hair growth patterns can be different on each side of the neck. I like to stretch the skin slightly open up the angle a little and go even lighter on the "off" side when I think the shave is having problems on that side.

    Why not learn to shave with your off-hand.

    This weekend was spent experimenting with that. It feels odd, but I am willing to give it a go.

    I am right-handed, and I will alternate hands when shaving the right side of my neck depending on which way feels most comfortable to me that day -- but, truthfully, there is a degree of awkwardness either way.
