On the need to become ambidexterous with using a razor

[RushHour]

A lot of people seem to have a patch on their neck that they just cant get, and I was wondering if thats because its a tough spot, or theyre using their wrong hand to shave that spot with and thus the angle isn't quite right. It seems like being able to use both hands when shaving enables one to switch to the other hand and really target tough to shave spots, as opposed to those patches of hair just being naturally impossible to trim.

Hi I have tried this a number of times over the years but I'm so used to shaving right handed I have to be real careful.
As I favour efficient/aggresive razors.
Cheers.

I shave with my left hand with standard razors. However when I was shaving with a straight, I used both hands. I could never get my neck to a satisfactory finish so I went back to mainly standard razors. I will on occasion use a straight just because.

I use both hands. I forced myself to do it when learning how to shave with a straight, and now on the odd occassion when I use a safety razor, I find it easier to use both hands. It means less contortions when skin stretching, if nothing else.
