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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
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, 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 accidentally cut myself with a razor blade on my toe. Not only does it sting really badly, but it reinforces the fact that I have abnormally hairy toes that need to be shaved. 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, 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, my fiancé asked me to do some manscaping. I got a little overzealous and now I look like a 12-year-old boy with razor burn. FML
Today, I decided to take a relaxing shower. My face mask made my face break out in hives. While exfoliating, my nipples became chafed. Then I slipped and cut myself while shaving. FML
Today, I was going to bleach my bikini line, as I have not been able to shave there due to some ingrown hairs, and I also have to lifeguard every day. As it turns out, I'm allergic to the bleach. There is now an angry red, burning rash on my crotch that you can see around my swimsuit. 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

Try shaving cream next time.

If your razor was dull that could have caused it- otherwise you should invest in higher quality razors and shaving cream. Your comfort is worth a few more dollars.

Skip the shaving cream and sharp razors and get a hygienic blade electric razor! No cuts and it makes you baby smooth. No need for shaving cream, water soaks, deodorant, anything! It works wonders

Good razor and I use hair conditioner. Eventually you will be great well most can get used to it also deodorant helps razor burn the white kind not gel

First time is always the worst OP, eventually you will get the hang of it and lots of good suggestions here. One thing I find helps more than anything, get a non electric razor and shave in a HOT shower then a really good quality aftershave balm, not liquid get a balm it's like a runny lotion and makes worlds of difference.

Baby powder should help, or Butt Cream. Not even joking here, diaper rash ointment does wonders for razor burn. And as others have said, shaving cream and a fresh razor should help next time!

I'd recommend using a creamy body wash and then a bikini area ointment afterward. You can also use a solid deodorant in a pinch to prevent ingrowns. Practice makes perfect!

Use conditioner to shave with and a sharp razor. Get baby oil and use it on the area for two days after shaving. Make sure you have alcohol or neosporin for any nicks or cuts from shaving unfamiliar curvy areas. Good luck, OP!

Well, time to put on Amanda Palmer's "Map of Tasmania" for a few days. On a more serious note, trim, trim, trim, as much as you can before you ever take razor to that area.
