Today, I shaved my legs and pits for the first time this summer. It took 3 disposable razors and an hour to get the job done. I've clearly been single for far too long. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I shaved my legs for the first time in three weeks. It took half an hour, three disposable razors, and I cut my legs up so badly they look worse then they did when they were hairy. FML
Today, I shaved my legs and armpits for the first time in 6 weeks. Unfortunately, I didn't have a hot date, I just had my yearly gyno exam. FML
Today, I shaved my legs. It's been so long since I've shaved that my razor broke. FML
Today, I decided to shave my legs completely to be more confident in my dress. I spent over an hour making sure my legs were perfectly shaved. It wasn't until I had been out awhile that I realized I forgot to shave my armpits. FML
Today, I shaved my armpit hair. After growing it for so long, it's gone. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy I've had a crush on for a while. I shaved my legs and armpits and wore a short dress. It wasn't until I got to the meeting that I noticed I only shaved one of my legs. 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 haven't shaved for so long the hair on my legs has split ends. FML
Today, I bought an expensive razor that's supposed to be great. My roommate asked if she could borrow it, and as her legs just looked like they needed touching up, I said sure. After a strangely long amount of time, she came back, thanked me and left. Her legs were still hairy. FML
Today, it finally clicked in my mind how desperately lonely I am, when I shaved one of my legs just to find out what a woman's leg feels like. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

ydi if you think being in a relationship is the only reason you should keep up with yourself.

Well if you don't have one of those buzz cut razors to work it off with then get scissors out and trim it down. It will take a lot less time with the disposable razor if you do it that way first..and from now on you need to shave more often..because that's just disgusting!

I am pretty lazy about this and will go a long time between shaving, but I can't even imagine how long you went to make this possible. Years? I have gone months between leg shaves before and it wasn't even close to that bad.

I can see both sides to this-- She doesn't HAVE to shave, but some women just prefer to shave. I definitely prefer to be smooth! I didn't start completely shaving "down there" until recently because I thought I wouldn't like it, but now that I've shaven it completely, I've found that I just like the feeling of being clean-shaven. It's all about personal preference.

well,you don't need a boyfriend to be clean and shave your body. I just can imagine if that was only your legs and armpits, how your animal looks. ewwwwwww

Of course it's an example of social control. Women removing their body hair is a completely arbitrary and unnecessary convention of western society. I don't know who invented the ideal that feminine = hairless, all I know is that if women do not keep their underarms, legs, and anywhere else free of hair, they are ridiculed, which this thread exemplifies nicely. The only reason OP would be ashamed of her body hair is because we are told by the culture we live in that body hair on women is unacceptable. Society buys into it, and of course the media are happy to keep perpetuating such idiocies because it keeps women in their place and the beauty industry rich.

YDI for letting yourself go. I haven't had sex in 10 months, yet my legs and armpits are always shaved.

Im rather lucky I've never ever had to shave my legs, there is no real hair on them at all, on the flipside of that the skin on my legs is ****** (not sure what it is as its not a rash, excema or anything) so they are never on show anyway. OP I find it hard to believe that you used three razors unless you have hugely long legs or hair like wire wool. Or maybe you just weren't rinsing the razor out as you went.
