Hiya girlies!

Today I'd love for us to share the little tips and tricks that you're proud of, things that help you feel like the best version of you! It could be about anything, makeup, hair, hair removal, voice, mannerisms, diet, exercise, fashion, whatever you learned that had a positive impact on your life that could help another girlie learning who she wants to be!

Something I've been particularly enjoying recently is finding ladies I particularly admire in media and copying the things they say, trying to match their intonation and expression. I know it's not an original idea but it can be super fun and very satisfying when you get it right! :3

It helps to have a razor with several aggression/closeness settings (e.g. Rockwell 2C or 6S) and switch to milder for across the grain. Or have separate razors for the first and the last pass (like Merkur 34C for start and Henson AL13 for finish).

With a good blade and a very mild razor it might take more passes across the grain but the upside is no nicks and most of the time no bumps.

As always, your mileage may vary because a lot of things influence shaving and it gets pretty individual ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
