The HRT I'm on ended up being pretty heavy duty because I had very high levels of Testosterone, which would explain my height (6'4) amongst other things. I didn't opt for laser or anything like that for two reasons. One, saving up the 15-20k for SRS took priority and two, eventually HRT more or less took care of the facial and body hair.
I still get it but it became manageable. Previously I hadn't been able to shave effectivley at all.
