I just shaved my legs and they look/feel great and I waxed my chest and underarms a few days ago with a home waxing kit using hard wax. I need to order some more wax else I would have used it on legs too.
The chest and underarms are easy to do for me and not too painfull at all.
I dont have a lot of chest hair either so thats good.
I have in the past used it on the whole crotch/underside areas and it was somewhat painful.
I really would like to get rid of this beard I have always hated shaving it and it would look much better if I start transitioning.

I could only home-wax my calves...couldn't get the proper lee-verage to do anything else.
I paid a salon to do my waxing for awhile, now most of my body hair has thinned out significantly (10 months on HRT)...still need to shave about once every few weeks.

I have been looking into whats available locally as far as removing my facial hair and have decided to make this my first goal towards pre HRT treatment.
I honestly hate shaving my face it is quite a chore and whether or not I do go thru with HRT, getting rid of shaving can ony be a positive thing for me regardless.
I have mostly dark hairs while there is some greyish hair that I understand will only go away with electrolysis.
Wish me luck!

I've been so bored at home visiting my parents in Ohio (practically snowed in here from the blizzard) that I just started plucking everything on my chest & hands... lol
And now it's clear! Really wasn't painful either.
I guess I do have OCD...
The epilator I just ordered should help with that. Going to use it for legs and arms when I get home :)
