So i've been 3 weeks on T now, approaching my one month mark on wednesday.
time flies i'll tell you.
and so far not a lot of changes obviously. i have blonde body hair anyway, im kind of just like peach fuzz to the max on my arms and legs and stomach. don't get me wrong there's more hair it's just not dark, perhaps that will change, but im a ginger nordic my dads got no body hair to speak of so i really don't know what to expect XD
voice has changed. i sound like im sick. my throat feels strange like things are going on in there but nothing painful or unbearable, occasional cracking when i talk.
my legs are getting smaller. less thick, same with my bum. just sort of noticed the pants getting loose. don't think i've lost any weight, i eat everything im hungry all the time, cept now it all goes to my stomach area, which i try to combat with exercise and gym stuff.
bought my first binder today on amazon, have no idea what it's gonna do for me, if i can't wear it regularly for comfort i know i can still use it for other occasions. my boobs are big at all it'd just be nice to stand up straight and tall without it being obvious oh that guy got tits.
friends are starting to really refer to me as my preferred name. and it's starting to gel nice, i can't really tolerate my old name anymore, it sounds so wierd to me now...
anyway questions i had was when did you all start shaving your face? i got hella amounts of peach fuzz on my face and it's getting long, got this blonde moustache hair lip going on. thinking about shaving it probably should.
also when did you all have your first voice drop cuz though my voice is chaning it hasn't really dropped it's just kind of there, sick sounding.

Never shaved my face, even when I had fuzz. I just trimmed it down and still do. Never made a lick of difference in thickness, etc. - and having some dark fuzz actually helped me to pass, not hindered it.

I was waiting around for my voice to "break" and drop all of a sudden - never happened. Like you, it just gradually kept getting lower - even not always to my ears, I had to go back and listen to recordings to tell - it was that subtle. Just kept on doing that until it settled where it is now. I was hearing a big difference at month 3.
I'm not on t yet. But I've got a lot of blond peach fuzz. I went ahead and shaved the other day as I think the peach fuzz was hindering passing for me. Could be just in my head though. But it felt good to do it.
I started shaving asap, though I only do it now about once a week since I don't have much by way of facial hair. Never noticed a change between shaving and not shaving. Other than that if I don't shave I get, like, five really long awkward hairs but nothing else.
I also didn't have a huge drop in my voice. After a couple weeks my throat got sore and I sounded like I had a cold, but even now I can only tell that it's gotten deeper because people have told me so and I pass better than I did before.
My voice never cracked or suddenly dropped. It's just been gradual. Now I'm in a comfortable young male range. It suits me, since I look like I'm 15 and sound like I'm 15.
