I've always had a weird dysphoria about my male body hair - for a long time preferring a beard to having to shave
but starting HRT prompted me to get rid of it & now, until I have the time/money for laser, I need to shave my face
the safety razor is turning out to be quite good - now the "learning wounds" have mostly healed!!
(Although shaved my legs with it - took 20 minutes to stop bleeding :-( )
pleased the HRT has, faster than expected, sorted out most of my body hair

yes I know - shaving my legs is meeting patriarchal beauty standards and I shouldn't need/want to but when I'm not wearing tights - I _like_ the look and feel of them I feel guilty about that though to make up for it
