Why the hell did i ever take shaving advice from my dad? He always looked like he just came out of the mines. When my boys need to learn how to shave, this is where I'm going to go, someone who looks on point all the time
Another tip to help with razor burn -- dunk your blades in rubbing alcohol first to kill any germs. I haven't had razor burn in 8 years since I started doing that.
I've got a lot more hair growing on my face since getting pregnant and this is definitely helpful for me too. I leave my stache alone (I love it), but everything else bugs me and I want to take care of things correctly.
@BigBeanSupreme yeah, I have PCOS and hair removal via shaving is gender affirming for me 💜 I appreciate Mercury's how to, she truly teaches me how to everything 😂💖
How expensive is laser hair removal? I've always wanted to do it on some parts of my body, and I knew it'd probably be expensive, but when she said "I wanted to buy a house instead", I was shocked, is it really that expensive??
@@MayaMickaMicakI don't really grow alot of hair and a while back I bought a no no then gave it to a friend. Her hair now doesn't grow back as much and when it does its thin.
@@MayaMickaMicak it can be very expensive if there are larger parts of the body a person would like to have treated, the cost varies widely depending on where you live and where you go but it can total a couple K after all the sessions
I know this is probably for fellow transfems, but I know many of my trans brothers don't have dads who will show them how to do this. I think the fact we can learn from each other so much during our rather opposite transitions, is a beautiful part of what makes us a community
@@ebonyalexis32 Same here, tho I'm starting to get a pretty formidable set of sideburns/mutton chops! At least it's better than the obligatory transmasc neck beard. 😅
As a girl with pcos, no one talks about this or how to do it. I’ve had over 15 laser hair removal treatments and still have high volume. While I’ve worked this out through the years, it still took time. And that effected my self esteem
I could only afford electrolysis once and it was cause I won a package (paid a lil extra but nothing like the full price). They did warn me though that this would only work for five years because of my PCOS. But yeah it was rough when I was younger dealing with it.
Ask them to turn the machine up! It should not take that long to get down to pretty sparse hair. But also women are mammals, it’s okay for us to be hairy 🐒
Hi! I'm just popping in with a little advice as someone with PCOS and facial hair struggles. I've done many treatments, purchased at-home devices, and still shave daily. I recommend researching different lasers and trying different providers. They should advertise or at least be willing to disclose the exact laser device they use so you can determine if it's suitable for your needs. Not all lasers are created equal, and unfortunately, I've experienced providers essentially lying to me to get me to continue paying for treatments with a device that would never work for me. Some places advertise "laser hair removal" but use IPL devices, which aren't as effective as true laser devices, especially if you have a darker skin tone or lighter hair. And if your hair has a red or orange tint, laser might just not work at all. Electrolysis might be a better option for you in the long term, as it is truly permanent and doesn't have the same limitations for hair or skin colour. Unfortunately, it is more expensive and more painful, though. Best of luck, if you decide to continue pursuing permanent hair removal!
I'm a cis female that has the opposite problem. I'm not complaining I understand ppl have different issues but I've never really had eye brows and would one day like to have some that can actually be seen
@@frenchieoverlord5159 not sure this is an option for you, but just throwing it out there that cosmetic tattoos exist and become more and more common. One thing people get done with that is kinda filling in and darkening their eyebrows and if done correctly by someone who knows what they're doing, it looks pretty good! Maybe that's something worth looking into for you? As I said, I don't know if this is a possible option/solution for you, but thought it may be interesting to know if you don't already! Edit to add: just checked because I first wanted to be sure I didn't misremember, but eyebrow hair transplants are a thing also!
this comment section is such a good example of how allyship and community help EVERYONE. love to see one sweet, helpful tutorial helping so many people. trans women, cis women, trans men, it’s awesome !!!!! love u mercury 🩷
As a trans guy who wasn't really taught how to shave, this is very helpful! I like to keep my mustache, but the rest of my facial hair is still at a point where it's a bit weird and patchy so I shave it, I'll definitely refer back to this! I didn't know about the rag thing or that I should leave the cream on for a minute.
I am a caregiver with elderly clients and some are male, I have never had to shave anyone's face before but now I'm going to take this information with me to help further my skills with other people. Thank you so much for all your advice 🖤
There's a product called Cootchie cream, I had a friend in the "film industry " who told me about it when I was bitching about bikini bumps. She said her husband uses it for his face because he's got sensitive skin and would bump out bad. He loved it so much he stopped using men's shave gel.
@@Talestra I found what you were talking about "Coochy Cream"! Thank you so much! I don't think I have a problem with bumps, but I have sensitive skin, so it's always good to get recommended products that help.
@@Talestra ive heard of products meant for your lower regions actually being really good for your face too! After all, its a really sensitive area that needs a specific PH balance and can get infected even from normal soap, so the products have to be very gentle and high quality.
I know I’m not the audience here, but as a woman with Polycystic Syndrome, where extra hair in a symptom, hearing how you handle it is educational and comforting. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. I'm cis-woman and as I've gotten older, I've noticed more and more little beard hairs, then my natural estrogen dropped off quite early and I was spending SO MUCH time plucking/tweezing... But was remis (too prideful and somehow afraid that people will "discover" something about me if I'm researching a thing I'm embarrassed about??like? Ridiculous much?? I'm not the first woman to need/benefit from shaving??) to let a proper shaving tutorial into my algorithm or ask a friend/family member for help and waxes/creams aggravate me so. I'm already subscribed to you for household project help, this was a lovely surprise ❤.
This is so useful, as an AFAB person, I never really got taught how to shave my face and my mom keeps commenting on my lip hair :/ Thank you for sharing!
I taught my boys how to shave when their dad didn't, but obviously I was missing a lot of intel! Sending this them. Thank you as always, ma'am! You are the cats pajamas!
Cis (tho GNC) girl here!! I shave my face ever other day (joys of being dark-haired Italian) my chin is easy to shave but my mustache isn't-so this is very helpful, thank u!
Girl I’ve been wanting to shave my face for a while and it’s been intimidating because I don’t want to break out. (Transmasc here) I’m gonna take the dive and use your tips! Thank you for everything you share with us! 💖
Holy cow! As a cis woman with PCOS, this was incredibly helpful! I caved and bought the Ulike light treatment thing, but progress has been slow and I still need to shave before the treatment. Being AFAB, I was never taught how to shave my face, so I always ended up with ingrown hair and razor burns, which led me to give up and deal with the side comments and looks with having longer, darker facial hair while growing up. I literally only came back to it for the Ulike treatment. I’ll try this next time I need to shave before
Further up there was a comment about disinfecting the razor by dipping it in rubbing alcohol before starting to prevent break outs... I'm going to try that!
I love this! My girlfriend is trans and has talked me through how to teach my son how to shave his face. So many people need this information and it sometimes feels inaccessible. As a single mom with boys, thank you for this!
I don't know if this can help but I use this stuff called sugardoh(they sell it at Ulta I think it's about 20 bucks for a jar and for me that lasts a little while) it's kind of like hard wax but instead of wax it's made out of sugar. I like it because your little blob of sugar paste can be reused over multiple areas in one session if you get the hang of it. Plus unlike regular waxing if I place it in the wrong spot or if I want to give up after putting it on cuz I'm just not feeling it anymore it dissolves in warm water so I can just rinse it off without pulling the hair! If anybody does go this route I find putting a good baby or similar powder on the area you're removing hair from first helps prevent damage to your skin as well as using a gel or cream with hyaluronic acid after helps chafing and irritation. I really hope this can help somebody cuz I know it's really helped me reduce how often I do hair removal without it being a financial burden!
Thank you Mercury!! I have chin hair that I shave every day and I’m always so nervous to get razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Thank you SO MUCH from someone who’s parents mottos were “girls don’t shave their face” and “just keep tweezers in your car”, which is so misguided but I’m glad they were there to give advice I guess?? 🤷🏼♀️ Makes me thankful for people like you who share their knowledge and wisdom and are boldly themselves no matter what. Thank you so much ❤✨
As a ciswoman (but with pcos) I did electrolysis when i was younger (won a free package) and they explained that because i had pcos, it would only last about 5ish years which was correct, and then it came back morso. I'm glad I'm not the only one who needs to shave more than once a day, but was never told how to shave since most woman just get waxing every few weeks and that's enough for them. Waxing only works for less than a week for me if lucky. =/ Guess I'll try this method so my skin can be nicer haha!
As a Cis woman thank you for the info! After having kids my facial hair has darkened and become stiffer and plucking is no longer enough to keep up. My partner keeps a beard so he isn't helpful for this knowledge
Thank you for making this! I have loads of issues shaving, and always end up cutting myself. I'll try the long towel soak and letting the shaving cream sit next time. Any advice for shaving "sideways"? I've got some stubborn hair on my neck that grows pointing to the side. I'll always be amazed that I can manage to nick myself and Still not get the hair
As a cis woman with facial hair from PCOS, I got a Henson razor last year and highly recommend! If you can swing the initial cost, it is high quality, gives you a very smooth shave with less prep, and saves you from buying disposable razors every couple weeks.
I swear those cartridge razors ruined my skin. I switched to a safety razor and I don't get razor burn anymore. There is a brand of safety razor that is the easiest to get used to while also working only if it is at the perfect angle.
I have a few trans friends and they ask me about shaving sometimes but I don't really have hair on my body. Even my eye brows are basically not there. So thank u now I can refer them to ur video cuz I'm not trans and my guy constantly has a full thick beard he thinks he looks like a baby without it. But that's a very close shave you got there 😊
Thank ya for this! I have to shave my face constantly! I don't know if I have pcos or just have weird hormones, but I always get razor burn or develop acne because of shaving, so thanks for the tips!
do you have any recommendations? i have a friend who's been plucking her face so she won't get a shadow :/ she was looking for laser devices recently but was having a hard time finding one she trusted
I'm AFAB. I used to shave and I felt so ashamed about it. Then, my chronic illness went into overdrive and thats no longer an option. Now, I get waxing done when I get my nails done. It helps for the first two weeks, but by the time I'm due for another waxing, its pretty obvious and bothers me quite a bit. On the other hand, my son is trans, ftm. If laws haven't changed by the time we dinally get into the gender clinic, he'll be starting T soon. I'll use this to help teach him to shave- I did it all wrong!
Your hair is so beautiful!!!! Thank you for this one. My son has started shaving. We have only done the electric razor but ill remember these tips should he want to use a regular razor.
As silly as this sounds, even for CIS people this is helpful. Thank you!! Sometimes I gotta even get rid of hairs >< blegh turning 30 did weird things to me...
That was the cleanest shave I’ve ever seen! And the warm towel and shaving cream are such practical yet important steps. I agree with another commenter, ima let my teens watch this to learn how! The best and clearest instructions 😊❤
Your skin is beautiful and looks very youthful. I have always admired your work, your compassion for others and your friendly nature. So glad you were able to buy your home and work on it making it everything you wanted. I wish you a very happy holiday season to you and yours 💜
Thank you for showing us this process. I care for a disabled woman and help her shave her legs. She's really sensitive to skin issues and I have to be careful. She's not shaving nearly as much as you are doing, and the only thing that has worked best is using a safety razor and replacing the blade every. Single time. I'm gonna try out your tips too, thank you! ❤
You have helped me a lot this year i watch you're videos to cheer me up because i have been trying to rebuild my self after being in a abusive relationship and a hell of a bad break up and now i am back with him and i stumbled into you again when i am at my lowest
As a pcos girlie this will help me so much! I never thought to go back against the grain to get a smoother finish, neck/facial hair just gets thicker every year and i always look so stubbly. Will def be trying that!
There’s ipl laser hair removal devices for less the 300 for a top end device that works on your face too. There’s devices that start at 40 but I wouldn’t trust those. I would read the reviews on them all anyway.
Ah! Your hair color & your nails! Just gorgeous!!!😍 ❤(I know it's not what you're talking about, but I had to mention how pretty they are!) You have great how to's, thank you!😊
When I first heard that your shaving 3 times a day that had me a bit worried because of the blade on your skin so much, but it’s good to see your taking precautions. I still think it’s a lot in a day. Genuine question: Would it not be fine to do it 2 times a day instead?
As as cis woman who has to shave this is great. The other thing that helps me is putting baby oil on prior to the shaving cream. It adds an extra layer of protection and moisture; my skin always feels a bit drier and more… scraped? abraded? if just use the shaving cream.
I'm not sure if I am ashamed of myself for admitting this but, I am a cis female, and I have just learnt how to shave properly without getting razor burn/bumps/cuts! Thank you Mercury Stardust 🎀

Thanks for the tips. Facial hair is my worst dysphoria. I have to shave twice a day. I simply can't afford electrolysis.
I am not a trans person (although I am queer) but I do have autism and the feeling of stubble drives me insane so this is super helpful

Honestly the shaving tutorial I needed as a transmasc as well!!! Love u sm
You're so beautiful. Im glad you got your house!! Thanks for sharing so intimately ❤
Your skin is beautiful and looks very youthful. I have always admired your work, your compassion for others and your friendly nature. So glad you were able to buy your home and work on it making it everything you wanted. I wish you a very happy holiday season to you and yours 💜
Thank you for showing us this process. I care for a disabled woman and help her shave her legs. She's really sensitive to skin issues and I have to be careful. She's not shaving nearly as much as you are doing, and the only thing that has worked best is using a safety razor and replacing the blade every. Single time. I'm gonna try out your tips too, thank you! ❤
You have helped me a lot this year i watch you're videos to cheer me up because i have been trying to rebuild my self after being in a abusive relationship and a hell of a bad break up and now i am back with him and i stumbled into you again when i am at my lowest
You are great!! 😊
your skin looks good even though it gets shaved 3 times
As a waxer, I recommend shaving for facial hair. Some ladies wax, but it can lead to acne and irritation. Great job, Mercury!
Her skin looks amazing
Your skin looks amazing!! ❤❤
❤ angels like you give me back my faith in humanity!
I dont have the patience to shave once a week. I have no idea how you do it
As a pcos girlie this will help me so much! I never thought to go back against the grain to get a smoother finish, neck/facial hair just gets thicker every year and i always look so stubbly. Will def be trying that!
As a girly with hormone imbalances (PCOS) I can’t imagine shaving 3 times a day and having clear skin like yours! I’m truly jealous 😭 I gotta wax lol.
love this hair color 💞
Hot water is really so useful. Not just for shaving but also for skincare in general. It's simple but oft overlooked
Your hair colours are always so much fun!
I LOVE your hair and nails, omg 🤩
As an AFAB with PCOS, this is soooo helpful!
I have PCOS, and it causes me to have a lot of facial hair. Thank you so much for this tutorial.
I would hate to have to redo my makeup mid day. You look terrific!
Girl that is so much work! ❤
There’s ipl laser hair removal devices for less the 300 for a top end device that works on your face too. There’s devices that start at 40 but I wouldn’t trust those. I would read the reviews on them all anyway.
Ah! Your hair color & your nails! Just gorgeous!!!😍 ❤(I know it's not what you're talking about, but I had to mention how pretty they are!) You have great how to's, thank you!😊
When I first heard that your shaving 3 times a day that had me a bit worried because of the blade on your skin so much, but it’s good to see your taking precautions. I still think it’s a lot in a day. Genuine question: Would it not be fine to do it 2 times a day instead?
As as cis woman who has to shave this is great. The other thing that helps me is putting baby oil on prior to the shaving cream. It adds an extra layer of protection and moisture; my skin always feels a bit drier and more… scraped? abraded? if just use the shaving cream.
Damn thats amazing shaving advice. Love the hair too!
Your skin is really clean
Your skin looks so smooth i forgot you have to shave it
I may not be trans, but I have hormonal problems that cause me to have facial hair, so this vid helped me. Thanks Mercury. ^-^
Awww I love you! 😭🫶
I'm not sure if I am ashamed of myself for admitting this but, I am a cis female, and I have just learnt how to shave properly without getting razor burn/bumps/cuts! Thank you Mercury Stardust 🎀
Transitiok is not a race ❤, its about doing what works for you when it works for you ❤. Thank you Mercury ❤
