Shaving?

Advice Question

Hi, I was born male and I'm now nonbinary. I'm doing a bunch of things to appear more feminine (dyeing my hair, wearing different clothes, about to take estrogen) with the goal of looking relatively gender ambiguous.

I hate how fast my beard grows and shaving it with a safety razor isn't working out well for me. I bleed in several spots every time I try to shave, it doesn't get all the hairs no matter how many passes I make, and it takes a lot of time. I barely shave my legs for this reason.

I don't know if I'm just doing things wrong, since I feel like I'm following every guide I see. I do it right after a warm shower, I rub my face with exfoliating gloves, I use shaving cream, I switched to a DE safety razor because I heard they're better, and it still cuts while leaving enough hair to still be scratchy everywhere. I think my skin might just be sensitive or something.

I tried waxing, but I struggle to follow online tutorials. I feel like I need someone to actually show me how to do it.

What options do I have to destroy every fiber of hair on my body? I'd prefer a non-permanent solution but I want to hear everything.
