Like many, I am right handed, but I use both hands with straight razors. Still, while the WTG pass with the left hand is ok, the left hand is considerably worse than the right ATG and XTG. Today, since I wasn't completely tired and just hoping to get over with the shave, I investigated. So, why do I suck with my left hand (and maybe you, too)?
I thought that it was because I was less assured and mobile with my left hand's fingers. It turns out that it's not so much an issue with hand movement, but rather with arm movement. With my right hand, I basically use my shoulder and elbow to get into position, but buffing is done by moving the wrist, with some micromovements of the fingers. With the left hand, basically, the movement came out of the shoulder, with immobile elbow and wrist. This sucks big time, makes me feel stiff in the arm, and is completely hopeless when trying to buff.
I tried to force myself to move exclusively the wrist with my left hand. I lack the control of my right hand, but it still was a much better experience than my shaves before.
The brush is doing ok.
Good night everyone!
