Thread: thrid shave: like an M3 but with...

an added bonus of aftershave shock

still I'm very impressed already, even my chin is improving
(did nick myself at the usual suspects but that's sort of unavaoidable if I keep shaving, I know from experience that takes time since it took my other mole weeks of shaving to adjust with the M3 before it 'hardened')

Stropping after each shaving turn did improve my shave though, does that mean something is wrong with the way I strop or use the razor?

Harold just get your doc to burn it off with a laser for 15EUR or so.

From what I could gather from your
post it sounds like your are doing
fine. The chin is typically the hardest
area to master.

Just keep it up and as time goes by
you will get better and better.

As far as stropping goes. Take your
time and go slow. Make sure the
razor remains flat and do not lift
the spine.

it's not totally a mole, it's more like an elevated birthmark.. sort of

so it's only like 1 mm 'higher' than the rest of my skin if even, but that does make it more prone to nicks since that type of skin seems to be softer/lighter. I've had my chin covered in fur for years until I decided I wanted to shave part of it where I had such a mark and it bled for weeks. These days it rarely bleeds, not even when I went over it with the straight.

The problem with the second one is that it's on my jawline, which was hard for me to do properly even with the M3. My guess is the straight is already doing a better job than the M3 on it, but this on skin that's not conditioned to it hence the bleeding.

If so, I'll get used to it in a few weeks.

BTW I read somewhere in the past that true moles could be a sign of cancer and that you may not just remove them, is that true? :|

They may turn into cancer but if they're not increasing in size, once you burn'em off, they're gone for good.
