Today, I got an electric shaver hoping that it would reduce the risk of cutting myself than shaving with a manual one. However, I cut myself opening the plastic package with the shaver inside. FML

Today, I was using Veet instead of shaving, so that the razor wouldn't cut up my legs. I cut myself with the plastic utensil that you're supposed to use to remove the Veet. FML

Slippery when wet

Today, I bought a new electric razor. I tried it, and washed it. I started to shake it in order to get rid of the water. It was pretty slippery, and it exploded onto the floor of my bathroom. The warranty doesn't cover this, I guess. 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

First time

Today, I shaved for the first time. My mum gave me a razor and I spent about 20 minutes trying to use it. I gave up, yelling, "FUCK IT!" and put it back on the shelf. It fell, and as it hit the floor, a lid fell off. I'd tried to shave with a sheathed razor for 20 minutes. FML

Today, I cut myself on a band-aid box, while trying to get one out for another cut. FML

Today, my electric razor fell flat right after I had finished with my first cheek. And of course I don't have a manual one. 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

Let it bleed

Today, while trying to put something into the almost full waste bin, I cut myself with a razor blade that my son had thrown in there. It was surprisingly sharp, and my finger started pissing blood. 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

Yeah I guess that sucks but FML this is not. Trying to reduce cuts I bought a new shaver. After I opened it up I covered my face in shaving cream. Not knowing that thats a no no I burned the side of my face when the razor shorted out.

It takes 5minutes aprox to use a manual to shave - electric shavers are just a waste of money and for..... what a shave to take 3 minutes? YDI LEARN NOT TO CUT URSELF WHILE SHAVING! ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE FFS

I hate the way they seal that goddamn plastic. People cut themselves on them all the time. Make the store open to for you before you leave. Electric razors really do help. You don't get as close of as shave, but you'd probably have to really try to cut yourself. I've never once cut myself with one.

I started off shaving with an electric, but it just didn't work with my face, so I switched to a razor and it has been so much better. The shave can never be as good with the electric. Sure, a bit of blood every so often, but man up and take it.
