    I hate shaving. this is not a request for help/advice, I’ve tried many different types of razor and many different techniques, it’s just a complaint about how bad shaving is.

    it’s like, facial hair giving you dysphoria? well, you’re gonna have to shave it off or pay out the ass for laser or electrolysis! also shaving’s gonna leave a bit of stubble, as a treat, so you’ll always feel a little man-coded.

    I’m currently in month 2 of using a braun IPL 1-2x/week on my torso and face, with minimal thinning to my facial hair but my chest hair significantly thinned and softened. I’m hoping the facial hair is just gonna take a bit longer. I also need to start on my lower half and maybe my arms but shaving down there is such a pain when you’re 6’6"/2m tall and not terribly flexible…

    my body is too manly for me to ignore the hair but I’m too much of a dyke to want to deal with the hair, why must beauty be pain and take hours out of my life every goddamn week.
