My beard shadow remains though. It’s just this powerful. What can I do: even as a femboy my testosterone sensitivity as a communist male are just too high. Communism is simply too powerful. 😔

    How many passes did you do and in which directions?

    I have to go cheeks to neck, outside in, then inside out. (Never neck to cheeks.)

      Every direction. I kept going, but the thick hair is just under the skin yet visible. :(

        You might damage your skin if you keep going till you get it all. The trick for me is shaving every day (which you may already do) usually after a warm shower. But it also still helps to rest a hot flannel on my face first. Seems to help make everything supple so the razor can do it’s thing.

        Yeah before laser I’d do three passes (with the grain, across the grain, against the grain) and then a final touch up pass for any stragglers. Too much is def irritating though!

          Do you have to shave at all after laser? Or does it obliterate the hair follicles completely?

            In the first few treatments the dark hairs are obliterated, then progressively lighter hairs are obliterated until there’s nothing left. I’m on my… 5th? 6th? One of those, which will hopefully be my last. Though I’m told it can come back due to hormone changes, so don’t expect it to last forever in the post-apocalypse I guess! 😅
