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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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
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
Today, I cut myself with child-proof scissors. FML
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

Wow. You cut yourself. It can't have been that much bigger than a paper cut. If it was, that's different, but if not... not an FML. not an FML. not an FML. not an FML. not an FML. not an FML. not an FML.

#6, that's not necessarily true: I've used both quite a bit and unless I really need to shave quickly I prefer a wet shave with a manual razor: it's closer and generally more pleasant IMO. Also OP, you must be thick to cut yourself so often with a modern multiblade razor that it becomes a problem.

LRN2SHAVE. Also, #68 is correct. Manual razors are much more pleasant than electric ones. Unless you're like the OP and don't know how to use one properly.

The OP should learn to use scissors as well. Also, this isn't an FML, though it is ironic.

Ug, I hate those plastic packages. They're impossible to open. x( #41, calm down. No one forced you to click on the FML and rant. This site isn't even about the big life changing stories; it's about little hilarious things that completely screw your day over. No need to get THAT upset over two sentence. Sheesh.

How often do you cut yourself? I almost never cut myself and I have to use a manual razor since electric ones don't shave good enough.
