So, I’ve got a couple of stubborn moles on my cheek that always seem to be in the way when I’m using my shavette. I’ve nicked them a few times, and it’s not fun. How do you guys handle shaving around moles without turning it into a bloodbath? Any special techniques or should I just grow a beard and be done with it?
Shave lightly over them or wipe lather off first for better visibility. Practice helps avoid nicks.
To address Theodore80’s concern, beyond the light touch and lather removal already mentioned, consider the angle and direction of your shavette. Positioning the blade at a shallower angle reduces the risk of cutting into the mole. Additionally, shaving in the direction of hair growth minimizes tugging, which can inadvertently catch the mole. For added safety, keep a styptic pencil handy to quickly stop any bleeding if a nick occurs. If moles are particularly problematic, consulting a dermatologist for professional removal might be a long-term solution. Practicing these techniques can help you maintain a smooth shave without the risk of irritation or scarring.
