What’s that, can I put this on my face? I don’t wanna shave my beard anymore. -90% cis male
It's currently the strongest acid in the world, capable of dissolving almost anything including bones, flesh and ofc hair
I'm gonna say no lmao, shame though because I'm also tired of shaving lmfao
Maybe we devise a machine like the laser hair removal ones, but instead of applying lasers to the hair follicles, we put a super tiny drop of acid?
There is a method where they use a needle to inject something into the follicle which kills it. However you need to poke yourself for every follicle you want gone. So it's not exactly the most pleasant. Or the cheapest.
I've used depilatory creams on my body and face and they're either inconsistent, or I don't know how to apply it. I've never had it remove all of the hair; there's always some that remain.
However following that up with shaving gave me the smoothest shave I've ever had. My face hadn't felt that smooth since before puberty. The euphoria was real.
That’s interesting, I may give that a shot, the cream
I should point out your mileage may vary. When I tried Nair on my face, I found it didn't really work. Or that it was partial at best. I don't think it's meant for fully developed follicles.
I tried another that's meant for the pubic region and that worked much better. But since it's not meant for your face, I can't exactly recommend it.
There is also the chance your skin will have a bad reaction to it, so make sure to take caution when trying for the first time.
There are depilatory creams for faces. I tried one once, but the results weren't much better than shaving and it irritated the hell out of my skin. I know some people swear by them though. Look up Magic Shave.
Just gotta try it out on a discreet area like you do with cleaning products in fabrics.

Epilation is the way to go. It's only excruciatingly painful for like the first 2-3 times.
I was going to suggest diluting it very severly, but it reacts with acute volitility (volatily?) to water
That sounds very dangerous and painful. There are easier and better ways to remove unwanted hair.

Rules
1.) No bigotry of any kind, and don't be a jerk either
• Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.
2.) No Spam
• This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance's rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.
3.) Posts must have something to do with being trans, or about trans experiences
• Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.
4.) No Selfies or Character Creations
• Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii's are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.
5.) SFW-only
• This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.
6.) Submissions must be a meme or they will be removed
7.) Swearing is fine, but slurs are not
• We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don't, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.
8.) Embedded submissions should only link to trusted image sharing sites, no IP grabbers or link shorteners
9.) Use but don't misuse the report button
• If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance's rules, please report it.
10.) Please do not link to any terf, racist, or any other hate communities or forums
• Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed
11.) Don't be a jerk nor a troll
• Be nice, and don't create social chaos. That's it. Pretty simple, huh?
Some notes:
1.) We highly encourage you to use alt text in your posts, so everybody can enjoy this community
2.) It would be really nice if you flaired your posts accordingly in the title
• For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: "[NB] Story of my life!" This will make searching for content much easier.
3.) Don't break the law
• This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in
Sibling forums:
!egg_irl
• Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial
!196
• Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll
