Hello CDH lovelies !!
Just sharing a situation.
So, Refreshing my background - 39 year old Crossdresser. Married. Wife has no idea about my dressing.
I get to dress up once in 3-4 months for a week or so when wife and family are off to my in laws place.
My wife likes me to maintain a stubble on my beard. She likes that look and quite frankly i like it too.
So, everytime i get to dress up, I come up with a couple of standard excuses to clean shave my face , which my wife is ok with . But her only request is to not clean shave the mushtache. At the least is to zero trim it or trim it at the trimmer's lowest setting. So that atleast the shadow is visible. I am ok with that as I only dress up at home and dont venture out. i cover it up with makeup and camera filters. But if u see it in mirror or in person, it could be visible.
So now, Am planning to have my first professional makeover done in a few weeks. And the basic requirement for it is to have a clean shaven face. Am worried about the reaction i'd get from my wife if i clean shave my mustache.
Am away only for a day from home. So I cant even hope that it'd grow back by the time I get back home the next day.
Any suggestions ladies !!! 🙂
XOXO
I would ask them this question at the makeover. I am sure that there are techniques that can be applied to your situation as it surely isn't new. Perhaps give them a call..
Shave it. And if you really want to give a reason for it, you can say that you want to have a smooth face every now and then. 😉
Earlier this year I shaved off my beard so I could cross dress properly. My wife always said I looked like my mother when I shaved (which was about twice in 30 years) and didn't want me to lose it, but she was also getting interested in Rebecca and finally agreed to get over it for a while. Two months later and she has completely forgotten about me having a beard and no longer thinks I look like my mother (who is long deceased, I might add). Rebecca is also quite adept at NOT looking like her (his) mother using clothes and makeup so the issue has simply evaporated.
Say you want to give the clean-shaven look a go as you are fed up of keeping things trimmed neatly when it is much easier to just shave it all off (and it really is). I seriously doubt your world will come to an end just because you are light a few whiskers.
And and you never know where starting on the clean-shaven look might lead in future .

I agree, just tell jer the truth, you want to try hair-free for awhile, and that if you din't like it, you will griw it back. The besr thung about hair is it grows back, and the worst thing about hair (for those of us who shave our legs) is it grows back.
I remember going through the same facial hair struggle. When I started crossdressing on my overnight business trips the urge to go out in public was so strong I knew I had to shave my facial hair of many years my family and friends were all very curious also. It’s been ten years and I never go over 24 hours without shaving.
Maybe you could get a 'Conchita Wurst' makeover instead?
Have a google to see: 'Bearded Cross-Dresser Conchita Wurst'
In drab i have short facial hair which my SO likes (as do I). This is not a problem as I rarely go out in femme mode anyway. We plan a few times a year when Stephanie Mode can last a good week or so and then the facial hair comes off (bliss). She is fine with this as it's back within 10 days to its normal state. During this time when Stepanie is 24/7 we pull up the drawbridge and repell all boarders and enjoy our own time together. It's only afterwards during the regrowth period if friends and family comment I usually say I forgot the guard when trimming and took a chunk of and it looked odd so it all had to go. A white lie of course but better than the backlash and 'their' upset through lack of understanding.

My first wife insisted I grow a beard to see what I would look like. I let it grow out for a couple of months. It was the only time I ever had a beard. Didn’t really like it. Made me look like a totally different person. I think my wife was getting bored with the old me. She didn’t know anything about my crossdressing tendencies at that time. After I shaved it off I had a couple of women I know said I looked so much better without it. I know several guys in there seventies who let their beards grow out. I think they look twenty years older with their long gray beards. I have never grown a beard since that first time many years ago. I and my current wife love a smooth face.
