I had my first laser treatment last week, really looking forward to the time when I don't need my razor anymore (or at least a lot less often).
wouldnt say this assumes viewer is transfem... plenty of cis women and transmascs that shave their faces too :p
Was trying to be as cautious as possible, but I've removed the disclaimer. I did try and use the colour pink, but colours are not strictly gendered, not worthy of the content warning on second thought.
i actually thought this was a transmasc meme at first
It was fun learning thst the body and face hair that stopped growing when I transitioned was just going to come back because I hit my late 20s…
I'm not trans, but looking to save y'all some money. Stop buying those expensive cartridge razors and invest in a nice safety razor. The razors are dirt cheap and the cut is damn close to a cartridge cut. I'll never go back to Gillette again!
Ooh I think that's the same reason my hair refuses to shave with anything, I should try one of the foil ones
You can't get a close shave even when going against the grain with an aggressive razor? Damn
Strictly better, if you get gud.
I'm ignorant, are you more prone to accidental cuts? How is it with razor burn and ingrown hairs around, you know, sensitive areas?
to help with razor burn, sanitize your razor with 70% rubbing alcohol
You'll find safety razors branded as "mild" or "aggressive" which just means how far the blade sticks out. Obv the mild ones will irritate less, but also stuggle with long/lots of hair when you shave infrequent
I was more prone for my first few shaves as my skin adjusted to the different blade, but I don't really get cuts anymore unless I reuse the blade too many times. If you get a decent safety razor you can adjust the angle of the blade for your preferred comfort. I haven't noticed any more ingrown hairs vs a cartridge razor.
Not to brag, but I don't even have enough body hair to shave myself if I wanted to
Super jealous of that, it takes me like 30+ minutes with an electric trimmer to work through from feet to shoulders 🫤
meanwhile my legs get enough dark hair to look icky and horrible literally a week after shaving them completely smooth :(
Damn, I'm sorry you have to deal with that, this must really suck :(
