  4. I guess so. I sure hope the vintage SE doesn't take 100 shaves to master.

  11. Great shave, Jim! By the way, I like clanging my brush against the side of my shave mug. It's music to my ears and it wakes me up. Lol!

  12. Good morning to you all :eatdrink013: DSC_0216.JPG
    Nice and close two pass shave today. I nicked myself once again, and had a little bit of irritation around a mole, but less than yesterday i think.

  15. It happens! Do you uncover the mole from the lather so that you can see and shave around it?

  17. On the first pass i'll just shave over it (requires a lot of skin strething), on the second pass i'll shave mostly around it, dab a bit of water there and thin out the lather so that i can see it. Enough slickness for the razor to glide smoothly, but i don't know if i'm using too much pressure or what else i'm doing wrong.

  20. I would uncover the mole in all of your passes so that you lower the risk of cutting yourself.
