Like the shower scene from 'Psycho'...

cicerI 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...

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!
