This post isn't specific to LGTB community but I'm asking here because I think the community might be more knowledgeable about this stuff. I hate shaving my face because I have low vision, bad fine motor-skills & I have very sensitive skin. I also shave my armpits & crotch area for hygienic reasons because it tends to be hot & humid here. I dislike having hair anywhere except for my head(I've been losing the hair on my head for the last few years & started taking Propecia for it a couple months ago) but I don't shave anywhere else because of how difficult & complicated it is for me. I don't like the idea of pulling hair out because it would probably aggravate my sensitive skin & I have a low tolerance for pain. I also dislike the idea of electrolysis or laser hair removal because it would cost alot of money I don't have, may involve pain & I'd have to go somewhere regularly for a while. I'm wondering if anyone has any more original ideas. I heard there's some laser hair removal thing for women they can do at home but I don't know anything about it. Is there medication that could cause hair loss or decrease the growth; I would NOT try medication without doing a lot of research 1st. I'm just wondering about different options available.

This probably won't be much help, but have you tried an electric razor? It doesn't require as much in the way of fine motor skills as a normal razor.

I have a couple times & it looked more patchy after

Try a magnifying mirror. Might help if you have low vision.

I guess I just don't care enough about how I look to be bothered by that.
