I am just finishing a blog entry on hair in general, though it wont be up till about March as things are going.
I don't need any hair at all but still it grows. The only hair I like is my wig which isn't mine. Every fortnight I nair and its the worst night of my life!
Grrrrrrrrrr
I strut my stuff, I feel so proud,
I need to shout, to scream out loud,
I am Tricia I am she,
I am who I want to be

You really should ask the FTM's about that. I suppose they could explain how great it is to shave their face and not their legs.
Well, after I shave my face, it still looks like a man's face.
Once I shave my legs, they look more feminine.
I can get excited over sexy legs, but can't get excited over the same old face.

Oh, I dunno. I kinda love my face to be as smooth as my legs. That's why I love shaving my face after two or three days - I get such a close shave it's gorgeous.
Sarah...
i was brought up to be clean shaven at all times (tho rarely am) i hate to shave cos it all ways leaves me in pain
i spent $$$ on a wet electric shaver but they never a close shave.
if i could i would have laser on face
Well I feel clean with out body hair. The body hair to me is repellent and gross. Now I'm not a TS, just a CDer that feels better dressed and feels better when my skin is softer and smoother. So shaving or using Nair does make me feel better. More femme yes, but a lot cleaner. When I bathe or shower, my skin feels so good.

I don't get anything out of the act, but I do like the feel of a good close clean shave (legs or face). I find leg-shaving much easier. Facial hair seems coarser and stiffer, I get some irritation on my neck, can't get all of it shaved. The best shave I can get is if I let it go for a day or 2 and then shave (and get ingrown whiskers if I'm not careful or use a blade that's gotten a bit dull). With legs I don't get any irritation, I can get them totally smooth (and I don't have to do it so often).
I'd rather shave my legs than my face. I'd like both to be smooth most of the time, although I'm not too concerned if my legs aren't smooth or hairless all of the time (and there are times I like to grow the whiskers).
I cam walk around with a clean shaven face all day and noone cares.
Legs are a different story, Its kind of a right of passage to the CD world

I don't have that much hair on my legs to begin with so it doesn't matter to me weather i shave or not. I did the other day and my legs felt great. I plan to keep this part up from now on:D
Thanks Miss Megs
All I know is that after I shave my legs, ( which I barely ever do ) my legs feel incredible even in a pair of my jeans. I feel much sexier without ever dressing in womens clothes.
Love and kisses,

My .02$ says that, when comparing shaving legs to shaving my face, the legs win for easiest overall /except/ when fighting the ingrown hairs, or a bout of sensitive skin irritation.
Shaving my face, I've found, feels like I'm going up against a thousand of my worst enemies, all standing at attention and holding strong against my attack. With shaving cream, or electric razor, after spending some time to level the enemy's defenses, it still seems like they're still there, under cover, or they've snuck deep into the areas that never like to be visited.. like the hairlip. ;-)
Now, for me, I'm thin, so my chin also, after shaving, ends up full of bumps because, simply, there's very little meat there to soften the pores, etc.
Lastly, the shadow is the most disheartening thing to have to see after all that work. And it is work, and how can someone really feel super proud of this shaving task when the first thing they see back in the mirror is this dark haze.
Sure, when I shave before working with makeup, I strive for a super-soft smooth surface, and I'd say on average 60-70% meets that criteria. The shadow, the fact that I fear seriously cutting myself in such a visible place, etc, makes is very hard to get 100%, all the time - plus it doesn't seem like its ever smooth enough. When I shave my legs, it's become this smooth, caring process, perhaps because I do like the feel of my legs without hair, esp. after a usual lotion treatment (I'll never rush my GG SO through her lotioning procedures again. ;-} ). Further, to look down at my legs and NOT see stubble, or a relative shadow, is a form of happiness for me. My face needs so much work to add some femininity to it, my legs, a razor and lotion.
Lastly, I'll add that, when I have shaved my arms or other parts of my body (chest, down there, etc) that 'smoothness' that I was referring to seems to follow it. Again, with the face, not so.

Yes we women too get razor burn, hence not shaving our faces until we are ancient! However waxing is by far the best way if you can stand the pain,(which gets easier to bear as time goes on). It takes some time to grow in again and when it does it is new softer hair. If you have soft skin around the eyebrow area, don't atempt to wax them. It can leave a bruising mark. Shaving does stimulate growth!
Good luck to you all!
I think for me it is because shaving our face is just something that us "guys/girls" just have to do if we choose to not have facial hair, it is maintenance for us. Kind of like girls shaving their legs, it is maintenance. When us girls shave our legs it is part of the feminine process. My GG friend recently talked me into shaving my armpits, lmao, she almost talked me into shaving my legs and chest but I was going on a trip to sunny florida and did not want to reveal myself or have questions asked about my smooth chest and legs, giggles.

So are you ready to shave your legs yet? lol If you shave them, I'll buy you a spankin' fresh pair on nylons to put on those gorgeous silky legs!!!Originally Posted by trisha11
I too hid Robyn for about 20 years behind a full beard. Early photos are from the neck down. I ended up having to shave for work and it was amazing. Within months Robyn was out and about.
Now back to the shaving question. I still find my face to be very sexy when I shave it extra close to be Robyn. I shave it 5 different directions to get it as smooth as possible. When I am in drab and heading to work I never shave it that much and it is not near as smooth. As for my legs, I love the feeling when they are shaved and smooth. Nothing feels better than to slip stockings onto them when they are freshly shaved. I thank my mother's genes for not having much hair. I never have to shave my arms and the legs take 3-4 days to grow back.

I think that is an offer I can not refuse.......lets make a plan gigglesSo are you ready to shave your legs yet? lol If you shave them, I'll buy you a spankin' fresh pair on nylons to put on those gorgeous silky legs!!!

I finally got rid of everything, but in the old days shaving my face took more of a toll on the skin than shaving my legs. And most people aren't looking at your legs close up when you talk to them.
Hi Paige!
I do not like shaving at all! I had a beard until five years ago. The thing is, I don't look that great in a dress, even less with a beard.
So, I shave. I also shave the other parts of the body. I just "feel" better hairless. So again, I shave.
Hi Paige:
I hate Shaving, I hate face and body hair. But for me shaving my legs is sexier than face. I have to shave my face daily, and I hate it!
When getting prep for a CD night I love the result of having a hairless body, the softness and the feel of moisturizing my legs and body is awesome!, but the shaving is the bad part of it all. I am thinking of getting a face hair removal, but still investigating which system is best.
Hey Paige,
For me, shaving my face is such a hateful chore, a necessary first step in my transition. Like most, I suppose, I'd just as well not have a beard to shave at all. The whole thing is a huge pain, as is shaving everywhere else... I get no thrill in the act, only so thankful and happy once it's over and I FINALLY have a pallet to feminize.
Robyn
When lost, alone, or blue I know I can always get through the day, for I've always another shade of lipstick to make things right!
For me some of the sexist images that come to mind are of beautiful women beside a tub full of bubbles sitting on the edge of the tub in a towel leg bent at the knee elegantly shaving. That is so feminine. I also love the sensation of stockings on freshly shaven legs.
I love the feel of being freshly shaved , but hate having to repeatidly do it ,as it becomes a chore .
How I wish we could all only have to shave once , and that would be the end of it ..... smooth and silky ...... in all our nooks and crannies .... giggle
For me shaving is a real pain.
I have sensitive skin so I can get a rash even using a electric shaver. My hair grows really fast and I also have a permaneht shadow. If I could afford it I would have it removed by laser. But it looks as though I will have to wait for electrolysis.
living the dream :D
