For the Birkin, do you wrap both handles with twillies or just one of the handles? Just got a B and not sure if I should buy one or two twillys. Thank you!
For Birkin: Twillys on both handles or just one?

If I use a twilly on one of my Birkins, it's to just tie a soft bow on the handle at the front. I feel like it looks unfinished with only one and two looks too busy to my eye. Just my opinion, but ultimately, see which one makes YOU happy, not someone else.
In my Birkin, I do none, one, and two.
On my Bolide, I use one.

I use two twillies on my b's. I've seen some with only one and I do not know why. If someone would share if there's a reason other than, it looks to busy, I'd love to learn about it. TIA!
On my birkins I like to wear two because, to me, it looks more balanced. Also, if I am protecting the handles it makes sense to me to cover both. I use one on my kelly. Truth be told, I don't always wrap my handles. I do it when I feel like changing up my bags a bit. To be honest, it's really what aesthetic you like.
I use two. I also add white gauze underneath especially on my B35s. If you search a thread by docride, you’ll see where she shows how to wrap the white gauze underneath the twillies. It helps make the handles softer and more comfortable to carry especially on bigger Bs. If yours is a smaller size B and you don’t carry much, then you don’t need the gauze. Also, if you wrap only one side, there’s a potential down the road of the color wearing down less evenly on one handle than the next.
two for me, because I want to protect the handles specially on the light colored ones.
I always use two to protect the handles.
I used two to protect the handles. I don’t necessarily used the same twilly though. I pick twillys in the same colour range.
I use 2 for light coloured B. I don't use Twilly on noir B.
On Kelly sellier, I prefer naked. Too sophisticated for all that stuff....
On Birkin I prefer 1 twilly on B25 no rodeo/bag charm due to small size and not looking too busy,
2 on B30 and rodeo/bag charm because it can handle more decoration without looking overdone.
Just my preferences

Nowadays only one - and most of the time I tie it at the back handle, there's no particular reason for that..
In the past, I used to tie both handles but I would never match the same print of the twilly's but rather go with the ones that worked out the best paired together (like my B35 in gold)

I use either one or two depending on which bag, but usually just one, on the front handle, tied asymmetrically. For whatever reason I like the way this looks.
I use 2 Twillies for my B to protect the handles as I use hand cream
