Help!, I don't like my moles...but

Removing them from my face with my feather AC SS is not my idea of fun. I have been shaving a week now with my feather. Generally, I have done well not carving my face into chip steak. I have done DFS most of the time; however, I have two areas that I need coaching from you experts. First I have heavy lines on the neck between the chin and shoulder from age and extra pounds. I haven't found an angle that catches the hair correctly. I pull and stretch but I usually need my SE to get it. The other area is on my right side. I two moles right on the jaw line that gets whacked each time. No matter how careful, I nick the top corners of each one. I guess it could be the cost of learning, but any insight would be helpful.

Moles are tough to deal with. I have moles and scars.on the back of my head that I used to catch with safety razors all the time, but evebtually, I must have shaved down the rough corners, because they did stop catching after a few slips and nicks.

Using a straight, I have yet to catch any of them. I think this is mor if a testament to how completely I shaved them down in the beginning, moreso than an improvement in technique.

I dont shave my face, but I do cut in my cheek lines with a straight, and as luck would have it I have 1 rather large mole that needs to be cleaned up. I simply pay extra attention to it. It is big and round and never been shaved down, so it gets in the way, but I can usually maneuvre my blade over it gently without cutting it...if Im careful...

Go slow, so steady, and dont be afraid to really focuse in and use just the tiny part of the toe to clean them up. Youll get the hang of it. Above all else, just slow diwn around them and really focus in on the cutting edge, where it is, where it is going, and how it is moving across the surface of the skin.

Goid luck!

Thank you BadDad for the tips.  Knowing the Feather is a bit unforgiving, I just need to slow down  and pay more attention. I have been looking at regular straights now. I am holding on for the new RAD

I never tried a Feather shavette, but I have used shavettes before using a "real" straight. Straights are WAY more forgiving and easier to get the hang of. Seriously.

Shavettes are very picky about their angles and lressure. If you dont give then exactly what they need, they bite. Hard.

Straights are much less pynishing of slight mistakes, and this gives you the ability to really develope some muscle control and focus on controlling your edge.

Im giving a couple straights away in the Constest & Giveaways forum. You need 25 posts to enter. Gwt to posting and enter! Its an easy way to get into straights without making a big investment...

Try to slow down and if that doesn't work, there is no harm in using a DE or a cartridge to shave around your moles.
Good luck.
