    Ive never actually confirmed this, but cis girl friends of mine always told me to get the razors “for men” because theyre supposed to work better (and because of pink-tax they’re often cheaper :3)

    For wet body shaves, i would recommend starting with one that has many blades and then later switching to a double edged safety razor when you’ve got the flow down. I also recommend getting some body shaving gel for women. Dont use to much pressure and go over the places you shaved with cold water, it’s supposed to close the pores. Ive had issues with ingrown hair before HRT so i got myself a ladyshaver, mine is from Phillips. If you don’t get grossed out by it, you can buy them used for a lot cheaper. I also got a cleanser with salicylic acid from cera ve and have been using that for the last 1½ years. Works well for me :) Remember to use moisturizer after shaving, your skin will thank you.

    I shave my face with a gilette fusion razor because it’s worked better than any other method for me in the past, but the blades are crazy expensive. I recommend using a moisturizer instead of an after shave (iirc the alcohol dries your skin).

    Edit: Important thing to avoid razor burn: try to remember your hair growth pattern. For me the hairs on my Thighs grow sideways and not shaving sideways there caused a lot of razor burn.

    Mine was pretty fun, I had a very intimate relationship with a mcdonalds apple pie. McDonalds also sells plastic bags with a cut apple inside and someone had previously ordered one of those instead of the apple pie, because in german they’re almost the exact same word. I laughed for several hours at the thought that somewhere in the world somebody is cutting these apples and putting them in little plastic bags - that just seemed completely insane to me. But then when we got back to the house the party was had I thought I had lost my phone and searched the entire path we had taken from the macdonalds and back. I found it at the place we were partying after I got back but not before having emotional breakdowns the entire way to the mcdonalds and back because money is kinda tight rn and I really didn’t want to have to buy a new phone

    Avoid the reflection, it’s telling us lies
    It shows expectations, the scratches of time
    You feel its tenacioussness, “keep your disguise”
    When maybe it’s time that’s been rushing the tides

    A song and a place change so much in your life
    The times which we sing each a bridge to our minds
    While manipulation is leading to crimes
    To live out your live you must first stay alive
    And it hurts to stay behind
    To leave who you really are inside
    When and how should be the questions, never if or why

    So claim your stake
    You seek to fit the norm
    it has so many different shapes
    if you try you can belong
    search for those that make you strong
    they gather in forts
    Against the odds
    You’ll get to know the feeling
    It’s you, no piece of cloth
    Learn the tricks most never learn
    What others are given you have to earn
    But the greatest gift you can recieve
    Is loving yourself, and all of your tears
    In eyes and through dresses
    With or without
    your mask and your mirror

    Don’t be discouraged, you will endure hardships,
    if you ever get lost, use your map to find harbours

    Avoid the reflection, ignore its exaggerated lines
    Be yourself, regardless. Take your time

    May I ask how Biden is responsible for the war in Ukraine? Also how won’t voting to enable an evil idiot with intelligent people helping him openly planning on becoming a complete authoritarian dictatorship targeting its political opponents from achieving probably exactly that do harm? I hate to do a nazi germany comparison, but while making Hitler reichskanzler, this was the opinion of the center-conservatives that helped put him there. That definetly did cause Harm and the political situation was really quite similar.
