malebrained buy but i really need smth to get rid of a shadow

any tips to have a super smooth shave?

i don’t have a thick beard or anything, my shadow is very minor but it’s there and it’s frustrating as hell
>>

>>
Girl just buy an epilator
>>

The only option other than laser hair removal is makeup

This, shaving hurts your skin overtime
>>
>>42352277
you can wax, it will be painful, somewhat cheap, and the shadow will be away for a 5-7 days, depending on how ur hair grows.
u can try laser which is the best hair removal and it can be permanent but it is too expensive.
u can also use makeup to hide the shadow after u shave.
>>
>>42352277
Go on Groupon and find a deal for laser sessions. It's the only thing other than electrolysis that actually works
>>
skin is really pale and hair really dark so theres basically nothing to do

looking at daily tinted spf mousterizer and/or something called bb cream but im lost
>>
>>42352299
You girls are really epilating your facial hair?!? You girls don’t have a full ass beard you have to fucking remove, or the hairs are still shallow. I remember I plucked all my facial hair and it took all day just for it the blue shadow to come back in like 3-4 days.
>>
>>42352299
i have one but i would never use it on my face, its already unbearable on my stomach lol

>>42352299
yeah i think i’m gonna do
it this year

>>42352410
what’s the difference between laser and electrolysis, i mean i know it but practically for me? why should on pick either

>>42352443
holy fuck, nearby i can get 3 sessions for 90€ this way this is incredible desu

is the Alma Soprano ICE a good device? i remember reading about difference in devices the professionals use

>>42352474
ikr??

>>42352534
If you have pale skin and dark hair laser is going to get the majority of it. Light colors hairs and stubborn hairs that are not gone from laser would need electrolysis. That laser is a diode laser. For laser at least in the USA there are 3 main ones I know of, Alexandrite, Nd:YAG, and Diode. Alexandrite is if you are really pale they say Fitzpatrick 1,2,3. Nd:YAG is for darker people Fitzpatrick 4,5,6. And Diode is like a balance between those two. Also for me 6 sessions for full face and neck is 400-600 FMSTL.

if you have a beard u transitioned too late and arent actually trans sorry
>>
>>42352736
I don't have facial hair and I started at 25 then quit then resumed at 35, that means nothing.
>>
>>42352277
You cant shave away shadow, its the hair that is visible from underneath the skin surface. Meme razors dont even get a closer shave.
>>
>>42352277
Anyone tried lasering beard hair and it just turns lighter?
>>
>>42352277
update: i tried the razor, it works quite well, ofc the shadow is not gone fully but it really is way better than a normal cartridge razor

as long as i don’t look super closely into the mirror i can’t see my shadow, but holy fuck it takes so much longer i feel kinda miserable now doing it

but yay the result is better

but that just makes me want to do laser even more when i know i can get completely shadowless permanently and never think about shaving ever again
>>
covering with makeup will just make you look cakey, even with decent skill. laser until you dont see any marginal progress, then electrolysis the rest. it takes years and hundreds of dollars
>>
>>42352534
Just make sure it's an alexandrite laser but any place operating legally has to meet certain requirements. It's not someone running a homemade laser out of their garage saying trust me. Just to advertise such a business you need certain licenses and certifications met or you'll run into legal trouble. Their primary market is cis women looking to get rid of unwanted body hair

>it takes years and hundreds of dollars
This is one of the reasons I have been procrastinating laser. I got to just fucking do it, I kinda have the money, but the task is just so fucking daunting. It also doesn’t help I’m thinking of half lying half being honest about the reason to get laser, folliculitis and ingrown hairs.
>>
>>42353665
cool thing my local one uses alexandrite, you know what, i’m gonna make an appointment tomorrow, the first session is free so that’s cool

i’m kinda broke but i’ll be able to pay 100€ per month for it
>>
>>42353569
>>42353671
>takes years and hundreds of dollars
Not entirely true. It takes about 12 sessions, 1 per month, to see any meaningful change. Obviously if you have a full beard it's gonna be different than someone with light chin hair but it will definitely be a very noticeable improvement.
Like I told someone else earlier, laser places have deals on Groupon all the time. Pay for what you can when it goes on sale. I paid about 300 USD all together for 12 sessions. That's affordable even on minimum wage
>>
>>42352776
if you have actual dysphoria you wouldnt make it 35 years into your life without roping
>>
>>42353813
>$300 for 12 full sessions
How the hell did you find that deal? I know I live in an expensive area but on Groupon even during Black Friday the lowest I saw for face and neck, because the clinics near me separate them, it’s like $400-$600 for 6 sessions.
