bear with me cos this may make no sence at all!!
Basically i need to do a little animation of a razor blade going across the skin and taking with it some shving cream/gel that is on the skin...
the best way i can forsee of doing it is with particals. i have parented a gravity field and alike to a razor that travels through a load of particals and it gives the effect that i need... here lies the problem...
i cant get the particals to look any good... they just looks like a grid and it looks naff!
(see attached)

is there a way to have the particals act as one when it come to a material? or is there any solution people can think of??
or another way of doing it?


thanks in advance

hop it make sence!!!
