Just shave over it and over time it will disappear, how many uses......how long is a peice of string? It depends on many factors, it could be from one shave up to ten! When the blade starts to feel uncomfortable and is not cutting as well that is the time to replace, so if with a particular blade it needs changing at shave four change after the third shave. You will find different blades last longer than others.Guys, your help and advice has been brilliant.
I've now watched a few videos online and the first thing I realized is that I wasn't making a lather with the soap properly, I was just swiping the brush across the soap and wiping that onto my face! So I have to work on that.
The second thing I noticed was the angle that I have been holding the razor. I have been holding it with the handle not far off parallel to my face, then using pressure the make contact with the blade, then dragging it across my face, hence the problems. I now hold the handle perpendicular to my face and lower the handle to try and achieve a 30 degree with the blade to face, the with no pressure, move it with the grain, across my lathered face. I have to say, I find it a bit hard to shave under my nose like that!
Now I have another question, I have on my neck a small bump, I don't know if it's a pimple or a small mole, but every time I shave over it, I cut the top off of it. I can't see how to get around it unless I don't shave that area at all, but that will leave me a tuft of hair on the side of my neck!
How many shaves can you reasonable expect from one blade?
Thanks.

I only use a blade two or three times before I change it but you may find different. We are all different, . P.
