Health: Today, I was shaving my left armpit when I cut myself badly....

Today, I was shaving my left armpit when I cut myself badly. I wondered whether or not it would be safe to shave my right armpit, then reasoned that it couldn’t possibly happen twice. It did. FML

Today, while shaving in the shower, my mother banged on the bathroom door to tell me something, right as I went to shave under my left armpit, causing me to jump and cut open my nipple. FML

Today, while shaving I accidentally shaved of half of my left nipple. Worst of all? I didn't notice it until I looked down and saw blood everywhere. That's when the pain hit. FML

Today, I decided to conquer my fear of blades, and tried shaving my legs with a razor. I sat on the side of my bathtub and wet my legs, but some of the water splashed. I slipped on it and fell back, hitting my head on the tile wall and slicing my leg open at the same time. FML

Today, I tried shaving my bikini area for the first time. I ended up cutting myself several times. I now have impressive razor burn, and it's incredibly painful to even wear pants. FML

Today, I was shaving my underarms, when I heard a noise. I quickly turned my head to see what it was and got the razor caught in my hair. I'm now sporting a very attractive bald patch. FML

Today, I was in a rush to get ready for work so I quickly shaved my legs. In my haste, I accidentally nicked myself in a very sensitive area and had to spend the day simmering in discomfort and checking my crotch every so often to make I wasn't bleeding through my pants. FML

Today, while shaving my nether regions, I slipped and sliced myself in three separate places. They won't completely stop bleeding. I'm virtually having a second period, and it hurts to close my legs. FML

Today, I cut myself deeply with an expensive razor that advertised it's impossible to cut yourself with. Twice. Guess I always was an overachiever. FML

Today, I shaved off half of my right eyebrow by accident. It still looks better than my left eyebrow. FML

Itchy and scratchy

Today, it turned out the razor I used for manscaping wasn't as new and sharp as I'd thought. My entire crotch is now overcome with an unfathomable amount of razor burn. FML

Was this the first time you ever shaved?

I sure hope you didn't decide to shave down there thinking it couldn't possibly happen a third time..

Use a new blade when you shave.

I can't really rate this one, because it DOES suck, but on the other hand, the OP did it to herself, (but I don't think she "deserved" it. It's just unfortunate/painful/suckitude). However, I'd suggest using conditioner (something cheap like Suave or V05) instead of shaving cream. Shaving cream does not give you a smooth shave like conditioner does, and another benefit is that cheap conditioner is much cheaper than shaving cream. Also, another thing they don't tell you is that women's razors suck. Try using one of the new 5-blade razors for men, (I use Gilette Power, and I've never had a cut and always get a smooth shave). Happy shaving! :)
