I finally shaved my chest and not only was it easier than I expected, I can finally wear one of my old favorite shirts again! Maybe everything will be okay after all.

sounds like you probably didn’t shave your chest right if it itches. that sounds like razor burn. hot water is good for shaving because it softens the hair, also use shaving cream, make sure if you have thick hair you trim it first, then shave in the direction it grows then in the opposite direction if you need a close shave

for now just leave it, keep it moisturized, it’ll probably get red or bumpy if you do have razor burn

whatever direction your gender goes in, there is a shaving cream for that. can be an affirming thing as well as a practical thing. you can also try a body oil after shaving. don't think it'll help with the shower pain but it does feel nice and smell good
