I don't have the funds for electrolysis. My facial hair makes me feel nasty, but I don't have the strength to shave every day. Tbh, even if I do, I still have visible shadow on my face. :(

    Before i started laser, i had to shave twice a day to not break down completely. I don't get too much dysphoria from shaving itself, but it's there. I've found that it helps a lot when i don't view myself while shaving and only use a (magnifying) mirror to check for remaining stubble. I discovered a few years prior to my transition that i can shave "blind" without problems and have been doing it ever since.

      For me the sight doesn't make an issue, it's the time it takes and the sensations. The hair on my chin where shadow always remains is super thick and painful to shave. And again, steals time from my limited life. :(((((
