The Art of Shaving Over Moles: Is It Possible?

I’ve been struggling with this for a while – I’ve got a few moles on my neck and I’m always paranoid about slicing them when I shave. I’ve heard some guys say you can shave over them carefully, while others say it’s a no-go. What’s your take? Have any of you mastered the art of shaving over moles without causing a scene?

Gotta be super careful. Light touch, wipe lather off moles first for better sight. Some guys shave around them, others over with a really gentle hand. Practice makes perfect.

Hey Mason,

Liam’s spot on with the light touch and clearing the lather. I’ve been in the same boat with a couple of moles on my cheek. What’s worked for me is mapping out where they are before I even pick up the shavette. I’ll do a dry run with my fingers to feel for those bumps under the skin. That way, when I’m shaving, I’m extra vigilant around those areas.

I also switched to a translucent shaving cream, which helps a ton with visibility. It’s like putting on a sheer veil rather than a thick mask. And I second the motion on practicing – it’s like anything else, the more you do it, the better you get. I’ve gone from a heart-stopping experience every time to a zen-like precision routine.

Remember, it’s not just about the technique but also the tools. A sharp blade makes a world of difference. Dull blades are more likely to snag on anything, including moles. So, keep your shavette in top shape, and you’ll minimize the risk of any accidents.

Hang in there, you’ll get the hang of it. Just take it slow and easy, and soon enough, you’ll be shaving with the confidence of a seasoned pro. Keep us posted on your progress!
