This. Please don’t use an electric razor if you’re looking for gender euphoria. I use one because I’m a cis guy and I think the slight hint of stubble looks good. But for silky smooth skin no electric will ever get you there.

You need to use a high quality razor (you’ll cut yourself less as well), shaving foam (get something flowery scented if that helps with the gender feels), and you absolutely must apply damp heat to your skin first. Ideally shave in the bath or fresh out of the shower, but if that’s not an option, take a cloth, soak it in very warm water (hot enough that its almost uncomfortable to touch, but not quite) and press it to your face. Apply foam. Apply towel again. Apply foam again. Now shave.

I know that part sucks because you probably want the whole awful experience to be over as fast as possible, but a little extra time will get you a much smoother shave and you’ll be less likely to cut yourself.

Replace your razor or razor head often. Dull razors make bad skin. Men’s brands are distinctly cheaper (fuck the pink tax) so if using a men’s razor doesn’t hit the dysphoria buttons too hard its a good deal. Harry’s are exceptional quality for the price, and you can get them on a mail order subscription plan if you don’t want to be seen buying them in store.

After shaving, apply coconut oil or a high quality moisturizer. Never use alcohol based aftershaves, they dry your skin out. Plus coconut oil smells fucking great. Rub it into your scalp too, your hair will be silky soft. Better than any conditioner.
