i pull my facial hairs out one by one with tweezers. i've done it that way for years because i detest stubble with a passion and i don't envy the struggle teen me had with daily shaving(sometimes twice daily). i went a few days without plucking and the hair got too long and was bothering me so like a lazy dummy i did what my motherinlaw is always telling me and just shaved it instead and now my fae has razor burn and the rough gross stubble is sitting right there easily seen and easily felt and i can't pluck all of the hair out until it is at least 7-8mm because i would otherwise just tear up my skin and it is bothering me SO MUCH MORE THAN NOT DOING ANYTHING AT ALL. this isn't even about control this is about feeling comfortable in this hairy mammal body. which i don't right now

I feel you on that, Chocobo!
I do the opposite, though... I never shave. I feel more comfortable with my body when it's fuzzy. But then, I run into the issue of some people thinking that I am "dirty" or that I "don't care about [my] appearance" because I choose to not shave.

Someone recently thought I was transgender because I am hairy. I'm a cis female and it kinda hurt my feelings a little because I feel happy and feminine, but some people feel as though a hairy woman can never be "feminine" and I don't like that stereotype that hairy women are unclean. :(

I don't know if you're familiar with PatrickStarr, but he has a video on Youtube about how to get the cleanest, smoothest shave
