Moles seem to grow hair on their top. In addition, you have to shave up to the mole & not do surgery. For the mountain top, its delicate, mainly trying to stabilize the mole which is held in place by a flexible/stretchable tether of skin. It helps to have at least 3 hands, but the idea is to stretch the skin w/ 2 fingers (like the thumb and birdie finger) and place the index finger against the side of the mole to help stabilize. If a regular tiny short stroke won't fully mow the timber, you may need to do a few strokes rotating the razor on the axis of the spine - like the coupe de maitre under the schnoz. Mowing up to the mole will just be practicing your approach. If that's intimidating, start by using short, no pressure buffing strokes - where a back & forth stoke is done without lifting the cutting edge from the skin. The backstroke portion also keeps the skin hydrated w/ lather. (Thanks to the honorable Godfather for the backstroke putting lather back in place for another stroke)
