Lots of practice. Don’t force it too quickly, though, or you might damage your vocal cords.

Hm, if you can figure yours out, maybe I’ll dig out my own WHM cosplay from years ago and update it.

Close enough, at least. Wish I could have this hood without the robe attached, I've got different layers I'd much rather be wearing but they don't stack nicely.

Sounds like a Thing you should petition Galla about.

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

I'm left-handed myself, but some things I do right-handed. :0

I can understand the struggle. While I'm female, I get hair on my face and I hate it so much. I have a facial razor thing for women with this problem, and for the most part it's great but sometimes snags and hurts a bit. Dx I also have hair removal cream which I prefer though when in a hurry I use the razor.

I mean, I could just do it myself.

Should we have a white robe party?

[Kory]

Um....

I think "white robe party" doesn't sound great...

Maybe "toga party"??

I started trying to play Kingdom of Knuffel but I'm mostly just confused.

[littl3chocobo]

actually, funnily enough i picked up the habit from my mother so i totally understand that. she had a fuzzier face than my father some days x''D but yeah no matter how close the shave is the roots are still left in the skin and can be felt with a little pressure. pulling each hair out one by one is time-consuming but it removes even the root which leaves the face softer and keeps away discolouration from stubble, also because the hairs are new and tapered they aren't as dramatic when they emerge after a plucking unlike a shave where they are thicker and sheared so that the exposed base is facing out

it would be generous to say i have a bit of a chavvish face in regards to how thin and spottily it grows(and with my last bout of sickness it is even thinner now and there is a lot less of it) so it always looks bad and unkempt.

i will say this though, if i wasn't so sensitive to chemicals i would definitely take a shiny doll face and just soak the hairs dead but i would just get burns so there is no point

[KittyBeary]

For me it hurts too much to pluck each hair. ;_;

(Also yeah some items don't stack well :x Forever layering problems LOL )

[littl3chocobo]

i can understand that too XD personally i prefer the pain of pulling them all out to the perpetual discomfort of shaving. for me it's just paying up all the discomfort up at once and once the hair is pulled it takes days for the next one to show up so you dont have to do any extra anything while that is happening. besides after like the fifth or six one you kind of adjust to it and it's not so bad(just don't try and grab several at once, that is still heckin' painful). mostly it's a time commitment, can you justify sitting/standing for that long in front of a mirror with a bright light slow-cooking your retinas? XD

Man, wonder if I’d be able to grow facial hair even if I did start HRT.

...TBH I’m probably just better off using makeup to fake it. Did a decent job last time, for what I had on hand. Being an artist pays off.

i'd like to grow facial hair but idk if i'd be able to shave bc i have terrible acne.
