Shave peach fuzz?

Hey guys... I read that to pass better pre-T u can shave your face getting rid of the girly peach fuzz that is all over. I was curious to if any of you do this? Does it really help? And if so, when it grows back, does it come back the same or does it get thicker or darker or anything where you would look weird if you didnt keep shaving it? I don't want to start doing it if it will ruin my face if for some reason I never start T, ya know? Thanks

Without "T" it will not come back coarser. 14 year old natal males shave their "peach fuzz" and it makes them look no more or less masculine (they just look wanabee), but gives them the pleasure of complaining about shaving. :lol:

I heard that if cis guys shave at a young age the hair goes all crazy and it would of been better if they waited to shave. Until they actually had a beard.

Known natal girls who shave to look smoother and better with makeup and they had no negative effects. I never notice peach fuzz on anyones face but if you have a lot and look older then maybe it would be a good strategy -otherwise I'd leave it. Shaving can really irritate your skin and when it is growing back could get itchy as well and I doubt anyone really notices either way. I am a people watcher and as an artist kind of a natural observer and I never have

Shaving doesn't effect hair growth as far as i know. I shaved a bit and then in an attempt to "man up" let my beard grow. When i shaved again years later it was as if i had always shaved. It is just a pain to remember and another chore in a daily routine. Give it a try and see if you like it. I doubt it will cause any change at all.

Hugs,

i shaved my peach fuzz the other day...just to shave my face. to see how it felt. no one noticed besides me. it felt really cool to do it and i felt like my face was smoother. It has not come back thicker...and without T it won't. but i completely understand where you are coming from. If it is as fun for you as it was for me then do it. but if it is a hassle don't worry about it. it doesn't seem to help or hurt with passing

I never shaved my fuzz before I went onto T, didn't seem much point but I think its something most F2M's long to do for real - until the novelty wears off - me, Im lazy, I don't like beards but cant be bothered shaving every day so I keep a short stubble and have one of those stubble trimmers to keep it neat so I only have to do it once a week...............

I started shaving as a novelty and because, like you, I read that it's easier to pass without it. In my case, I know I pass better by shaving but I guess that differs from people to people. As of now (I'm pre-T) I shave because I like the smooth feeling of my face :P

One change I've noticed due to shaving is that my skin is rougher than it used to be, and a few hairs (barely 4-5) are thicken and longer. I shave every 2-3 days so maybe it's because of how often I do it.

I have been shaving above my lip for about 10 years and my face once or twice a week. Above my lip has come in darker for about the last 2 years, dark enough that I have a five o'clock shadow going on and other people do notice it. with my face I am starting to find some darker and coarser stray hairs coming in on my chin and side of my face but nothing noticeable except to me and my girlfriend. For some reason my body hair in places is thicker than my dad and brother. My legs have more hair on them than most cismen. My cismale friends have always been jealous of my leg hair ever since I got up the courage to start wearing shorts out in public without shaving my legs.

It really does not make any difference. If you pass, you pass for a prepubescent boy. This is generally going to be the case for anyone who's no/pre/early T.

Again...YMMV buuut.

I'm very hairy (pre-T) and I have found that, yeah, shaving at least will make the hairs come back in bigger numbers and more noticeable. Coarser? Enh. For me at least that seems to be the case. In no way, shape or form is shaving your peach fuzz (or any body hair) going to make it come in like you were on T...so you can't shave your way to a beard.

It also depends on your body chemistry and hair tendencies.

I'm fuzzy and got dumped in prenatal T as a fetus, I'm also pretty pale with black body hair.

I also come from a hairy as heck family bloodline (both sides and both sexes).

So it's status quo for me already to have treasure trails, thigh hair, lower back hair, shoulder fuzz, and some pretty impressive upper lip and jaw hair. Not to mention everywhere south of the belt and even my knuckles and toes. Not as bad as my brothers...but certainly enough to beat the 'status quo' and then some.

Shaving for me made it more noticeable, longer and more 'concentrated'...but mine's a little more potent than peach fuzz.

99% of the time no amount of shaving is going to help you pass prior to T. If it makes you feel psychologically better to shave, do so. I personally don't bother and I feel better *with* my werewolf fuzz than without.

      Hello @The Lake, Welcome to our forum. I’m intrigued by your introduction and would enjoy reading more about your backstory. We all have very unique journeys and yours is not one I have come across often. As you become more comfortable with our community, maybe you could share more aout how your gender identity evolved, what difficulties you confronted and endured and what some of your successes were along the way. Also, do you see yourself involved in a future transition of roles, presentation, social, physical, or something else entirely? There is never any pressure to share a thing here. So feel free to share as little or as much as you like. We are a very open-minded nonjudgmental group who enjoy learning new things from our members.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @gizgizgizzie, It’s nice to have you in the fold. We are a very diverse group so you’ll fit in just fine. Right now, society at large is getting bombarded with misinformation, bait and switch tactics, propaganda and lies so it’s no wonder no one can get it right. I don’t come out and explain things about my gender identity as much these days but when I do it’s amazing how little these people know about our transgender community in 2024.   Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I hope to learn more about you as you become more acclimated and active within our forum.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.

      I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge.    I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that.   I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing.    I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.

      I sometimes look too critically when I look in mirrors. If I’m presenting as male, I think I look too feminine. If I am presenting female then I think I look too masculine. It’s very irritating! Sometimes I think I get it down right. I guess everybody has their good and bad hair days and such, though.

      I cooked a breaded bone-in pork chop (seared in iron skillet then into the oven) an artichoke (w/mayo) and a frozen mac n' cheese that claimed it was "The Best Mac n' Cheese" ... and it was actually pretty good.
