That's good all went well matey, apart from shaving the mole, but hey, otherwise a good outcome. I definitely seen a big difference moving from the dovo blades down to the smaller ws blades, much smoother and no Irritation by comparison. I know what you mean aswell with the little corner guard on the shavette makes a big difference as most of the time when you slice yourself its the corner section of the blade that's doing the slicing. So well done to you matey, sounds like your heading in the right direction. Re the shaving cream I use Taylors Of Bond Street Sandalwood soap and a badgerhair brush which works well and gives the blade a good glide and also smells great as well. You should see If you can pick yourself up a brush and some soap or cream recommended for use with Straights, check out the Soaps and Creams section, you'll get some info there re recommended soaps or creams.
