I shaved for the first time without cutting myself

I’m 18 years old. You’d think I have shaving my legs down pat. But I usuaully don’t. In fact, I’m grateful for winter because I don’t have to shave so often.
But I’m going swimming tomorrow, so I had to shave. Boohoo.
Miracle of miracles! I managed to shave the whole of both of my legs WITHOUT cutting myself! I’ve been shaving for at least 5 years, and it’s a rarity that this ever happens!
I’m so proud!

Der… me bring up stupid topics. Hyuck!

Mrs. Moto, when we were dating, used my Mach 3 razor to shave her legs whilst visiting my place. :smiley:

She swears by it now. Very few nicks and cuts.

YMMV, but I’m sure it’s worth a try.

Now if I can just lose the image of a shaven 18-year-old!

I use a Schick.

I refuse to believe that anyone in this day and age is still using a blade razor.

Get yourself one of the recharchargeable electric ones, and never open the band-aid box again.

“rechar-chargeable?”

:smack:

[homer simpson] mmmmmmmmmm, shaven legs [/homer simpson]

I found a rechargeable razor to give me razor bumps more often than my Mach 3 Turbo(which I love :)) But, I probably just never got the hang of that electric.

this was on my face, and I’m sure the legs are a very different place to shave, though…

I use a spray shave oil called King of Shaves and a Gilette Venus razor for women and never once, with this combo, have I cut myself… and had the smoothest shaves ever. The only hair I have left is on my head :D:P

I have a Mach 3 for my face… always cut myself though.

Now, there’s a TMI topic! Think we could get away with it? :wink: Damn, that girl’s hot!

Oh, and Merla? My GF’s 35 and still can’t shave without looking like she lost a fight with a lawnmower. Dunno if that will make you feel better, or worse.

I’m an 18-year-old guy and half of the time I shave my face, I look like I have a goatee made out of blood. Maybe we’re destined for each other.

D’oh! I’m doomed!

And, you got me- do you believe in fate? :wink:

Merla

D’oh! I’m doomed!

And, you got me, Already in use- do you believe in fate? :wink:

Ya know, this thread is just cruel. Combined on the same page as the “How old is too old to date me” thread, with your “Ask the same sex high school girl” thread a not too distant memorie, I was all set to hear about…well…ahh…higher shaving. Fah!..no fair.

:slight_smile:

on the OP, my wife also likes my Mach 3. Don’t think I’ve ever seen her cut herself.

Der, I can’t help myself! I just naturally seem to tease the trolls. Online, that is. In the dating thread the guys are talking about me being irresistable or something… I dunno, I must just be that kind of girl…


PAHAHAHAHA just kidding.

Merla :wink:

Well, if you’re not meant for Merla, mebbe you’re meant for me! :wink:

Poor guys. It happens from time to time until you get used to it. I love blades though and will never go back to using an electric. My shave is sooooo much closer. And I never cut myself anymore.

Wierd.

I’ve been shaving for ten years, and I think I’ve nicked myself only 2 or 3 times total… And I don’t use shaving cream or lotion either. Just wet the face and shave. I used to use Gillette Sensor, but upgaded to the Mach 3. No troubles what-so-ever.

I have also had occasion to shave my legs a number of times (yes, I know…), and had just as little trouble with nicks. Got razor bumps on the fronts of my thighs though. It chaffed on my slacks something fierce…

Hmph. Don’t know what the big deal is with shaving creams and lotions. Seems pointless to me.

I’m 35 years old and have actual scars on the outside of my ankles from shaving in the shower (without my glasses). Do NOT try this at home. Learn from my mistakes, girls!
