Like the shower scene from 'Psycho'...

I don't often cut myself while shaving...but when I do, I really fucking gouge myself. Oh, my lord.

I think part of the problem is that I'm too used to shaving with old razors. So when I finally get off my butt and buy a fresh one, I just start digging in as if I'm working with a rusty spoon. Boom: instant fail. Also, I have a high pain tolerance, so I don't realize I've cut myself until I rinse off the shampoo and see blood everywhere.

This is not the first time I've made a total hash of my attempts to remove body hair, but this is the first time I've injured myself so splendidly. I sliced up both my shins, and my right elbow. Awesome! Also, I discovered too late that my first-aid kit is basically empty, so I ended up hopping around, dripping blood everywhere, trying to find some gauze and tape so I could MacGyver up a band-aid.

I'm thinking about switching to waxing, but man. I'd probably give myself second-degree burns. I am feeling sadly inept right now...

I'm kind of scared of the whole was thing too. I also have the type of Venus razor and very happy about it. I also have an electric one for the cases in which I'm too lazy :P

Funny thing, when I read the first line of your post, where you said you cut yourself shaving, I actually for a second wondered how come I never knew you were a guy, before I realized what you were talking about. Wow, I definitely need more sleep!

Electric razors! I should try one of those too!

Boy, I'm glad I made this post about my ineptitude with razors. XD I'm getting all kinds of great suggestions.

Ahaha! Nah, I'm definitely a girl. Just a hairy girl! I've actually had that experience before, though...realizing someone you only know online is a different gender from what you thought. It's pretty awkward!
