Hi, I wanted a bit of advice as I’m not sure how to do it properly.
When I shave, I either go both ways which causes me to cut myself a lot more, or I go from top to bottom but when doing this, my skin feels lot coarser. Is there a technique I should be using?

    also, this probably doesn’t need to be said, but: don’t sleep on hair removal, esp. for the beard / face … beard shadow is one of the biggest visual cues that cause people to gender you as male, and relatedly, it usually causes loads of dysphoria, but it takes a long time for hair removal to work, whether you use laser or electrolysis, you can expect that process to take months to years.

    So start early to reduce long-term suffering (if possible, of course; just saying: it’s high priority!).
