I use mine both ways, but probably push more. A lot of the time I'm taking tool marks off of curved edges, and pushing down seems a much more natural motion than pulling down.
By the way, do you have iron or wooden shaves? All three of mine are wood, two I built myself with Hock blades, and one from my great-great-grandfather.
Andy: I have that Planecraft book too (1980's reprint), and it's pretty decent.
