    I rate the Braun Silk Epil 9 an...

    OW IT STILL TAKES LIKE 5 PASSES/10. It’s much quieter than the 3 and is waterproof, which is nice. It did eventually die on me though, and it can’t be used plugged in, but I do take a long time to epilate since I’m a sensitive little thing. It was much easier in the places I had epilated a few weeks ago though, like much easier (1-2 passes with less pain). I just found out that my mom has an old waxing kit so I might try that for the rest of my “first-time” hair and then maintain with the epilator. Also probably not going to do my face, I saw a lot of horror stories on reddit when looking into it.

    So I think the emotional changes from the E are starting to hit me. I have had the giggles for a week (for reference, I laughed at “Bazinga”) and I have noticed more mood swings (either great or really bad, I probably need antidepressants). Today was the crying. I found myself crying or on the verge of tears for most of the day, either I was feeling sad and talking about my feelings with my sister or I was so happy to be able to spend time with my sister. I legitimately haven’t even been able to cry since my depression was really bad a few years ago, and it honestly feels great to be able to show those kind of feelings, both negative and positive (as it also means I’m feeling them). Starting E has to be one of the greatest things I have ever done in my life.

    side note

    Apparently my face is looking softer? My family has been noticing and I looked a photo from a few months back (unshaven) and a photo pre-E (shaven) and I hadn’t noticed how much has already happened. I didn’t realize things could happen this fast.

    Went out shopping with my sister today so I could thrift some femme clothes (I found a really nice jean jacket and women’s jeans with s p a c e!) and we went to where her boyfriend works. Was talking to her after and she was like “yeah he had a feeling you weren’t cis” (I rarely see this guy). I swear everybody except for my own family somehow knew that I was probably trans trans-hydra, literally none of my friends were surprised.

    AGHH ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION THE FLUFFY SLIPPERS

    I know I keep posting but it can make up for my lackluster prescence last week. I just got a new epilator in, and this time I payed a bit more for a wet/dry one. This one also swivels and sounds much less threatening. I tested it on a leg I had epi’d before, and it doesn’t hurt nearly as much, meaning I now just have to get over the initial hurdle of initially removing the hair without impulsively returning the epilator (which I did last time).

    It’s the Braun Silk Epil 9, almost forgot to mention. Cost me a bit but I feel like it will be better than constantly going through disposable razor blades and/or seeking lazer (not covered by my insurance 😔)
