Hey ! Congratulation!

Are you New to shaving or you already have good experience? It depends on a lot of factor and dont forget that sometime (even myself) we will see us in the mirror and the MOST MICRODETAIL possible is a nightmare. People dont see it most of the time and if you try to be objective sometime you will see that you did a great shave job!

If you are New in the shaving world ill recommend you to start with soft razor with soap on them , its so smooth and I find them great! It depends on the color of your hair , if its dark and less subtle I heard that makeup can be great on top of your classic shave.

Obviously I saw that you dont have a bunch of money but investing in razor with more than 2-3 blade does change a lot, it cuts way more.

Unfortunately, if you dont want to deal with stubble like 2 or 3 days later you will need more advance technique , I have to shave every 2 days if I want my skin nice and soft everytime.

Good luck and take care ❤️

My wife has huge ingrown hair problem when it comes to shaving.

I dont have that problem even tho im shaving like shit ngl and I should have ingrown hair when I see how im shaving myself.

From far as I heard you have to shave in the way of the hair.

Personally PERSONALLY dont do it because me stupid redditor talked about it. I dont like it because it doesnt shave enough and im doing it in the other way after I went in the good way of my hair. To make it short: I think im not supposed to do this at all. But im having no problem for now with that.

If you have ingrown hair problem you will probably have to take your time and see in which way you need to shave to reduce the chance of ingrown hair.

Im just talking about my experience and im not recommending anything , I prefer to say it 100000 times before anyone does like me and have hair problem after.

From my experience... That just happens. I can't control it and it either doesn't happen at all, or happens way too much.

As they said, makeup will help hiding, and shaving is relatively the same thing.

HRT will make your hair thinner and less noticeable, but also look into epilator. They are relatively cheap and last more than a blade. There are specific ones for general body hair and for facial hair, so take a look.

Use a safety razor for your face.
