I would be reducing the raises and putting in a few presses either seated or standing and the move onto your raises, I would also be doing some reverse flys for your rear delts as this is an area most people neglect.
 
I really dont think you need so many exercises unless you're really advanced...

I just do military press and side raises... I could probably also add reverse flyes but that would be it.

As fluffy from these forums said once ppl overthink it, once you can press 60kg above your head 10 times you will have impressive shoulders.

57kg per arm ? how are you doing rear delts cable?

also like the rest have said id do

2-3 sets of 8-10 reps standing bb press warm up

4x8 standing bb press
3x8 seated db side raise
3x8 seated db rear raise
3x8 bb upright row or shrugs

you hit your front delts on chest day doing your bench presses you dont need to over do it just starting out
 
Based on your shoulder workout, I imagine your chest workout is even bigger so I wouldn't bother with any front delt work as you're probably already smashing them with all sorts of variations of bench.

Even if you aren't doing huge amounts of bench work, I wouldn't bother with front raises.

Overhead pressing and side lateral raises are the key exercises, followed by some rear delt work (face pulls, rear raises or modified DB rows where you focus on the rear delt).


/edit - basically see Tregs post, nuff said.

Military press gives me no grief whatsoever, bench press causes a world of pain. Having said that if I overdo it without wraps I tend to get tendonitis in the elbow.

Since going batshit with military pressing I've finally started to get nice round shoulders. I dicked around for years with seated db press and every variation you can possibly imagine of raises etc and all the different machines and never saw the growth I got just slowly adding weight to the mil press.

Problem is most peeps hate it cause military pressing with a couple tens on the bar for reps looks much less impressive then throwing round heavy db's with shitty form and liberal spotting.

Get to the stage where there are twenties on each side of the bar and your repping it easy for sets, your shoulders are going to start getting pretty jacked. 2.5 plates each side and your repping for sets I guarantee you'll have decent shoulders if your not cheating

This is all very true and as you pointed out previously must keep good form else the back could be inline for injury...
