Avoid the reflection, it’s telling us lies
It shows expectations, the scratches of time
You feel its tenacioussness, “keep your disguise”
When maybe it’s time that’s been rushing the tides
A song and a place change so much in your life
The times which we sing each a bridge to our minds
While manipulation is leading to crimes
To live out your live you must first stay alive
And it hurts to stay behind
To leave who you really are inside
When and how should be the questions, never if or why
So claim your stake
You seek to fit the norm
it has so many different shapes
if you try you can belong
search for those that make you strong
they gather in forts
Against the odds
You’ll get to know the feeling
It’s you, no piece of cloth
Learn the tricks most never learn
What others are given you have to earn
But the greatest gift you can recieve
Is loving yourself, and all of your tears
In eyes and through dresses
With or without
your mask and your mirror
Don’t be discouraged, you will endure hardships,
if you ever get lost, use your map to find harbours
Avoid the reflection, ignore its exaggerated lines
Be yourself, regardless. Take your time
Ive never actually confirmed this, but cis girl friends of mine always told me to get the razors “for men” because theyre supposed to work better (and because of pink-tax they’re often cheaper :3)
For wet body shaves, i would recommend starting with one that has many blades and then later switching to a double edged safety razor when you’ve got the flow down. I also recommend getting some body shaving gel for women. Dont use to much pressure and go over the places you shaved with cold water, it’s supposed to close the pores. Ive had issues with ingrown hair before HRT so i got myself a ladyshaver, mine is from Phillips. If you don’t get grossed out by it, you can buy them used for a lot cheaper. I also got a cleanser with salicylic acid from cera ve and have been using that for the last 1½ years. Works well for me :) Remember to use moisturizer after shaving, your skin will thank you.
I shave my face with a gilette fusion razor because it’s worked better than any other method for me in the past, but the blades are crazy expensive. I recommend using a moisturizer instead of an after shave (iirc the alcohol dries your skin).
Edit: Important thing to avoid razor burn: try to remember your hair growth pattern. For me the hairs on my Thighs grow sideways and not shaving sideways there caused a lot of razor burn.
