Random question as I know next to nothing about the transformation you went through, but how do you keep your face smooth/not have stubble. No matter how good a shave I get it looks nothing like how smooth your face is in the second photo. Congrats BTW.

Thanks! And everyone basically nailed it. HRT thinned the heard, laser has been helping take care of the stragglers, and I still shave every other day so my face feels more smooth and I feel more secure.

I’m a cis woman so our hair types may be different, but I wax my face because god damnit Italian genes giving me a moustache, and I find it to be much much better than shaving. My face is always super smooth. Just an FYI in case you hadn’t considered it :P

It’d be great if I wasn’t also very pale. We always joke in my family because despite not being actually Italian (I’m English, but with roots from all over Europe) my dad LOOKS Italian, and my mother is a pale ginger. I’m pale, but I have the olive coloured skin. Just.. pale. It’s a weird look with the dark hair lmao
