I never had this issue with my M3 or the subsequent shaves on the second blade.

I figure it didnt happen on the first blade because the blade didnt make a lot of contact until the 2nd or 3rd shave so it got dulled a little bit.

Id rather this not be a common occurrence and was hoping someone here would be able to help me out with some advice besides be careful while shaving over it.

A sharp blade going over a protuberance will lop it off sooner or later no matter what you do.

In the extreme you could use a straight razor that would allow you a better look at where the edge is so you can get close without going over it.

I trimmed my moustache back some and revealed a mole that I was unaware of.

After a week of nicking it and having it bleed like hell, I decided to pay the 30 copay and have my dermatologist remove it.

The procedure took less than 5 minutes, didnt hurt, and has been healing nicely.

In another week, it will be like it was never there and I wont ever have to worry about it again.

When you get those down you should not have any more problems with that pesky razor and mole.

The bump (mole) is sticking up so that the blade chops into it.

You want to increase the blade angle, as in more perpendicular to the skin when going over the bump.

That way the blade will scrape across it instead of slicing into it.

Ive had many cuts in my lifetime, some fairly severe and nothing has ever hurt or bled as badly as that ripped off mole.

Sticks out too Ive learnt to pick it out of the lather with my pinky tip so its visible then I just shave around it.

I had that issue once before, but I realized it wasnt so much the blade but rather my technique.

When I switched to a Fusion, the Fusion started smoothing it down a bit.
