Today, I read that using vegetable oil would give your legs a smooth feel, especially if you haven't shaved for weeks. So I tried it out. My legs felt slimy, the oil clogged up the blades, and I was reduced to shaving my legs with a naked razor head and soapy water. Endlessly smooth indeed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 ran a hand down my freshly shaven leg to appreciate the smoothness, only to come up with a hand covered in blood. 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, 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
Today, I shaved my legs. It's been so long since I've shaved that my razor broke. FML
Today, I haven't shaved for so long the hair on my legs has split ends. 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, 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
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

I've never heard of shaving your legs with oil.... apparently it's a bad idea.

If you also rubbed some balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper on your legs, could you toss your own salad?

there's something called shaving cream, usually in the mens section in the drug/cvs store. There's also another product called "Neir" which removes hair without the need of a razor?

Hey, it does work, I've done it. however the trick is putting it on AFTER you shave, and just a little bit, not a huge sloppy mess. whoever told you to shave with it trolled you hard.

Depends on the type of oil. Things like olive oil and coconut oil are used in cosmetics, so those might have been a better choice. I am guessing you used the generic "vegetable oil" that is used for deep frying, or canola oil or something like that. Those are much thicker, and cannot be absorbed by the skin. YDI for not checking your facts.

Use baby oil and not so much. you only need a little!!! Vegetable oil will make you stink and is too thick!!
