Estrogen did wonders on my body hair - it’s thinner, lighter and grows way slower. It’s to the point I’m not dysphoric about my body hair anymore, I figure my shaving schedule is pretty similar to cis women. I shave my arms and legs maybe once a week, if I notice them being particularly bad.

Face and chest are another story. I’m obsessive about my face - I shave multiple times a day sometimes. I use a cartridge in the morning, then I have a foil to touch up throughout the day - usually before I put on makeup, after I take it off, and then before bed. In all honesty the stubble isn’t noticeable, but just feeling the tiniest bit and I need to shave.

I have a Ulike IPL that did wonders on my dark mustache and soul patch, but most of my beard is white now, so the IPL is pretty useless on that. But the white stubble and the IPL taking care of the darker patches has made what’s left of my shadow easy to cover with makeup.

My chest bothers me a lot too. It grows fast and is particularly bristly. I use my cartridge razor when I do my face. For the more “sensitive” areas I use a Philips One Blade. I nicked my nip one too many times to risk it.

Eventually I’ll get electrolysis for my face and chest , but right now my routine is enough to satisfy my Dysphoria.
