    Hi all,

    I'm having a dysphoria-heavy day and my facial hair has been part of the problem.

    I'm looking for any advice for how to deal with facial hair, outside of laser/electro 'cause I'm too poor for that. Currently I just run a razor under the tap and let fly, but that's not working for me so well, so any improvement on that technique will be welcomed.

    Besides laser/electrolysis, the only other thing I can think of is maybe using makeup to cover it up.
    I'm sure you could find some tutorials on YouTube or Google that you can follow along with.

    If you have access to HRT, my experience has been that facial hair grows less quickly and is easier to manage.

    I've been on HRT for years, and it doesn't seem as bad as it used to be, but then I used to have an actual beard so it's hard to tell if it's made any difference xD
