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 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).

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!

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?

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

to help with razor burn, sanitize your razor with 70% rubbing alcohol

Not to brag, but I don't even have enough body hair to shave myself if I wanted to

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Super jealous of that, it takes me like 30+ minutes with an electric trimmer to work through from feet to shoulders 🫤

[-] mere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

meanwhile my legs get enough dark hair to look icky and horrible literally a week after shaving them completely smooth :(

[-] Caitlyynn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Damn, I'm sorry you have to deal with that, this must really suck :(
