Essential Shaving Guide for Sissies

Essential BDSM: So You Wanna Be a Sissy, Part 2 (For Part 1, check out this post.)


The first time you glide your hands down your silky smooth shaved legs will be the first time you feel like a true sissy. Don’t take our word for it, but many say it’s a soul-stirring experience. Nothing else makes you feel more confident and feminine than the feeling of having silky smooth, hair-free skin all over your body.


But not everyone knows how to shave like a proper sissy. Most of you probably know how to shave like a man, but do you know how to avoid the dreadful five o’clock shadow like a pretty girl does? Do you know how to prevent ugly razor bumps if your life depended on it? Do you have the proper skin care routine to make sure your skin is smooth as a baby’s butt?


Don’t worry if you don’t. We’ll teach you how to do all these things and more. 


How to Conquer Your Fears and Start Shaving


Shaving itself is easy. You likely have everything you need to do it right away, and if you don’t, a quick trip to the store will suffice. So why don’t you just head on over to the shower and start shaving?


Because for many people who want to become sissies, they’re scared of what it could mean for them the first time they shave off all their body hair. Once you run your fingers down your perfectly shaved legs, up those hairless arms, and down your silky smooth chest, it’ll feel like a homecoming of sorts. This is where you’re finally happy in your own feminine, soft, freshly shaved skin. This is where you truly belong. There will be no going back.


But the physical results you get with shaving are temporary. Your hair grows back, seemingly longer, thicker, and coarser than before, so if you ever decide this isn’t the path you want to take, or if you want to take things more slowly, you’ll be as hairy as ever in the next few days.


But here’s the thing. Most people don’t really care if you shave or not. They’re so busy caring about what others think of them that they don’t have time to think about you. It might seem like a bad thing, but it’s really not. It’s a good thing because most people aren’t judging you as much as you think. Most people just want to live their lives free from other people’s judgments, the same way you and I do. We’re not that different from others in that regard.


So If You’re Ready, Here’s What You Need


Now that you’re fully decided, let’s go. Before you begin, make sure you have the essentials: a good razor, shaving cream, an electric clipper, a loofah, and a moisturizer. If you’re missing any, a quick trip to the store will get you ready.


Razors. For your face, a double-edged razor offers precision and a close shave. For the body, a straight-edge razor or disposable razors work well. You don’t need to be picky here. You can get a box of inexpensive Feather double-edged blades and a regular Gillette or Schick. You can also get a pack of disposable razors, but these blunt easily and you’ll have to discard them every couple of uses.


But do you really need a double-edged razor? Yes, it takes more practice than straight-edge razors. While the latter is useful for large areas such as legs and arms, you need the sharpness of a double-edged blade if you want a precise, close shave for your face.


The brand doesn’t matter as much as the fact that the razor blades need to be sharp and clean at all times. Dull, dirty blades are the worst for your skin.


Shaving Cream. Get yourself a rich, luxurious shaving cream to help you avoid nicks and cuts. Don’t get ones that make you smell like a man. None of that musk-scented gunk that’s counterproductive to your goals.


If you have sensitive skin, find an unscented cream. Otherwise, your shaving cream should make you feel sweet and pretty. Citrus and florals are always winners. You might also like vanilla and fruity scents. Keep in mind these scents should ideally come from essential oils, extracts, and natural essences. Check the ingredients list. If you have dry skin, it’s best to avoid products that use fragrances. These contain alcohol that can dry your skin even more.


Pro Tip: In a pinch, you can also use hair conditioner in place of shaving cream. It’s smooth and slippery so that the razor can glide down your skin effortlessly.


Electric Clipper. If you’re a virgin to the razor, it’s more than likely you have sweeping swaths of long, thick hair that will get trapped between your blades. Use an electric clipper to trim them first and keep them from clogging your razor.


Loofah or Body Scrub. Exfoliating is crucial. We’ll discuss it later in more detail, but for now, you only need to buy yourself a loofah. You can also use exfoliating gloves or a jar of gentle sugar scrub.


Moisturizer. A good moisturizer should leave your skin soft and supple after shaving. Choosing a product that’s suitable for your skin type merits its own discussion, but your safest bet is to get yourself a light moisturizing lotion that contains effective moisturizing ingredients such as ceramides and hyaluronic acid.


Skin Care Staples for Shaving


We’re honestly baffled how most sissy guides about shaving have nothing to say about skin care. There’s no way you can discuss shaving with a first-timer without talking about what needs to be done to prep the skin before and after the process.


Shaving and skin care go together. You can’t have one without the other. The sooner you get this, the fewer regrets you’ll have down the line. You don’t know how many sissies started out beside themselves with excitement only to cry their hearts out frantically when they see their legs blanketed with hideous bumps not knowing what to do.


When it comes to caring for your skin when shaving, here are your top priorities: exfoliating, cleansing, and moisturizing. Keep in mind we’re only going to discuss skin care processes that are relevant to shaving. Obviously, there are plenty of other skin care tips you need to know, but that’s for another day.


Exfoliate. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells that can clog your pores and cause ingrown hairs. It also prepares your skin by making it smoother for a more precise shave. There are many ways to exfoliate. You can start simply by using a loofah, exfoliating gloves, or a sugar scrub. Some people like to use chemical exfoliants like AHA and BHA, but for now (and forever if you deem it so) you can do it with a loofah.


Start by washing your body in the shower. Then, gently exfoliate with a loofah or exfoliating gloves in circular motions. This removes dead skin cells, preventing clogged pores and ingrown hairs. Pay extra attention to areas where you shave, and don’t rub too harshly to avoid irritating your skin.


Do this at least once or twice a week but never more. Too much exfoliation can cause dry, flaky skin. You can shave the day after you exfoliate.


Cleanse. To cleanse is just a pretty way to say to wash your skin. Cleansing removes dirt, oils, and other impurities that can clog your pores and lead to multiple skin problems.


You need to cleanse every day, especially before shaving. Use a mild soap or a cleanser that’s suitable for your skin. Lather it up and rinse thoroughly to remove any residue before shaving.


Moisturize. Moisturizing keeps your skin... well... moisturized, soft, and supple. It also helps soothe any irritation that may be caused by shaving and promotes faster healing of any minor cuts or nicks. Apply moisturizer every day, including after shaving. Pat your skin dry with a towel and massage a generous amount of body lotion into your skin until fully absorbed.


It's best to get a moisturizer that’s designed for post-shaving care, such as an alcohol-free aftershave for the face or a body lotion with skin-soothing ingredients like green tea, aloe vera, or shea butter.


How to Shave Like a Sissy


So now that you understand what it takes to take care of your skin, it’s time to get you shaving. Take a deep breath. Here’s what you need to do.


Trim Long Hairs. If you’re new to shaving, your body hair likely needs a trim. Use an electric clipper with a ¼-inch guard and trim along the grain. This will make it easier to shave later and prevent long hairs from getting caught between the blades. From hereon, you’ll be shaving regularly so you won’t need to trim long hairs as often.


Prep Your Skin. In the shower, cleanse your skin with warm water to soften the hair and open up your pores. Ideally, you should’ve exfoliated the day before so that your skin is smooth and clean for shaving.


Use Shaving Cream. Use copious amounts of it, making sure to cover all areas you plan to shave. Shaving cream creates a protective barrier between your skin and the blades. This helps reduce friction and minimizes the chances of you getting nicks and cuts.


Shave. Technique matters when you’re shaving. If you want a smooth shave, begin by shaving against the grain. This will give you a closer shave, but it can be harsher, especially if you have sensitive skin. After the first pass, shave with the grain to catch any remaining hairs. Use short, light strokes and rinse your razor frequently to keep it clean.


Be extremely careful around your clitty. Nobody wants a razor cut anywhere near there. If the hair is long, use an electric clipper first. You can also use scissors since the hair tends to go in all directions.


Also, use copious amounts of shaving cream and stretch the skin gently to create a taut surface for the razor to glide on.


Clean Up. Rinse off all remaining shaving cream and loose hairs with cold water to close your pores. Pat dry with a towel, being careful not to rub vigorously to avoid irritating your freshly shaved skin.


Moisturize. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. This is how you keep your shaved sissy skin soft, glowing, and always beautiful. Choose a moisturizer that suits your skin type. When in doubt, always use one that’s free from harsh chemicals and has plenty of moisturizing actives such as hyaluronic acid and ceramides.


Finally…


Becoming a sissy is a process. It takes time, patience, and plenty of experimenting. Shaving is just one of the steps you’ll go through, but it’s particularly significant. This is more than just about removing hair—it’s about revealing your soft, pretty, feminine skin. It’s through this simple act that the first signs of transformation start to appear. As your skin becomes smoother, you begin to feel the change, knowing that each stroke takes you closer to your true self.
