Hair is being a problem for me. Facial hair, I don’t like shaving (painful) (bloody). Not shaving it also sucks (prickly little growths) (spiky). Trimming isn’t really sufficient.
Also, chest hair is being an issue. I don’t want to try to shave it (that would be another level of hell). Trimming also leaves behind spiky hair that stings.
Hair growth on my head is going nicely. I like it. Then I think about how I will need to go to my parents during the summer and I don’t want them to know about my situation so I am going to have to keep my hair relatively short .
I’ve also started thinking that I should lower the dose of my hormones to slow down feminization. At this rate, I won’t be able to hide my chest growths even with a breast binder. My parents want me to be over for basically the entire summer and I don’t have a good excuse to not go. How am I to live with them in the same house while still hiding my feminization? .
Regular supermarket razor with 2 blades.
Highly recommend wet shaving with old style replaceable blades and shaving soap. Canned foam goo is a crime against skin. I can recommend brands but don’t want to sound like a shaving commercial. I just detest the present day shaving experience since I have a ridiculous beard and super sensitive skin.
use very hot water, wash the face beforehand for a good few mins or ideally take a shower, use plenty of a nice shaving foam or oil (maybe try switching), minimal pressure (!!!), short strokes, go with the grain first then against, rinse with lukewarm water and moisturise a lot.
Make sure your face is wet when shaving, and try different shaving creams. Use multiple light strokes, like you’re petting a cat, not one long scrape, like you’re mowing the lawn.
