A question for Mantic59

I was going to ask this on your youtube page, but thought I would give my give my BFC friends a chance to see your answer first.

I am sure that you have already been asked about this and answered it, but what is the best was to go about shaving around facial irregularities?

When I first started DE shaving my biggest concern was a large scar I have across my chin from a car accident. I had tried my father DE not long after the accident and managed to cut it up pretty good. I found out that that was just because of poor technique at the time.

Now that I have been DE shaving for a bit I can just glide over the scar with no problem, thing is I have another facial obstacle that I never worried about with my multi bladed razors, or the DE until recently. I have a mole, non cancerous, on my cheek just inside the edge of my beard. It isn't a problem most of the time, but every now and then I catch it and being a mole it bleeds like a stuck pig.

Any suggestions on dealing with these facial imperfections? Not just my scar and mole, but ideas for anyone who may have similar problems.

Thanks
George

Anyone can feel free to pipe in here, I am just looking for ways to entice more people in to traditional wet shaving.

George-- I have a mole as well. Medically-speaking a cut mole isn't harmful (other than bleeding like you said)--this from a physician on one of the shaving boards (SMF). My general advice has always been to make one swipe at it on your with-grain pass and avoid it for the rest of the shave.

Thanks, that's what I have been doing about it, on my XTG passes I come as close as I dare, but every now and then I get a little too involved with my shave and forget about it and those are the times I catch it
