    This week had been going well, despite a lot of work. Facial hair turned out to be challenging, I feel like I somehow can’t keep a clean shave for more than 5 minutes. next week’s gonna be exciting, I’ve got to prepare myself for outing myself to my elementary-aged daughter 🥴

      My facial hair is driving me crazy. The most motivated cells in my entire body I swear. I’m saving up for laser / electro

      Facial hair is the biggest PITA, check out past posts on here or reddit about this, you might get some helpful advice!

      Hair creams and waxing hasnt worked for me, im gonna try this sugar paste wax stuff my partner recommended. But as a baseline i use a safety razor with good blades (still trying to find the best ones), a thicker or more lubricating shave cream/soap is very helpful. I start normal, with the grain and all, then 2 more passes; once sideways somewhat with grain, then last pass AGAINST grain. This gets me the closest shave i can muster currently lol.

      Also, dont use a ton of pressure, and cream choice is super important. If you do 3 pass, your skin will hate you if you dont use a good cream/soap!

      Good luck to you with your journey! Maybe youll learn something i dont know and teach me one day 😁
