Today, I was shaving my left armpit when I cut myself badly. I wondered whether or not it would be safe to shave my right armpit, then reasoned that it couldn’t possibly happen twice. It did. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while shaving in the shower, my mother banged on the bathroom door to tell me something, right as I went to shave under my left armpit, causing me to jump and cut open my nipple. FML
Today, while shaving I accidentally shaved of half of my left nipple. Worst of all? I didn't notice it until I looked down and saw blood everywhere. That's when the pain hit. 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 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 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
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, 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 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 shaved off half of my right eyebrow by accident. It still looks better than my left eyebrow. 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?

Was this the first time you ever shaved?

I sure hope you didn't decide to shave down there thinking it couldn't possibly happen a third time..

Ouch! I've never cut my armpits before but I've cut my legs shaving numerous times, I can only imagine how painful that would be! Whenever I cut myself it's usually when I've put on a new razor blade, because the old one was fairly blunt it's easy to forget how sharp the new one is. I'd stay away from the deoderant for several days at least, not only would that sting but it probably wouldn't be very good for the healing process.

razor cuts aren't painful, I've cut my legs shaving loads of times and not noticed.

#68 It really depends on how deep the cuts are. There's a difference between a simple razor nick and a DEEP razor cut. I've gotten razor cuts so bad that strips of skin have gotten caught in the razor blade. ...Why yes, I am really bad at shaving.

i recommend you switch to wax or veet/nair that sounds painful...

#72 I used Nair and it gave me chemical burns...So even more scars, yay!

maybe you could pluck the hairs out... i've heard some horror stories with epilators.. bits of skin getting stuck in them etc... but maybe with a pair of tweezers, would take ages, but at least no scars :)

Wax, it really doesn't hurt.
nerdsgetmehot 23
It hurts the first few times (at least for me), but it's worth it because you don't have to wax as often as you would have to shave...

well, at least u still shaved, right?! or did u?...
Cinn_fml 23
Yeah, because that's really more important than healing the cut...

rash or not, you should never go a day without deodorant, for the sake of the people around you. sometimes when you shave it hurts to put on deodorant, especially for op with the cuts, but it's worth it.

YDI for trying twice...

Use a Schick razor with the guard lines going across the razor. I love them! no more cuts! :)

28, It's not your deodorant. It's all those dirty men you've been rolling around with. It's a risk that comes with the job though, right?

Been there, done that. :/ I've accidentally cut myself with my razor on my legs so many times that I have scars.

It happens. I don't think I've met one person who hasn't cut themselves while shaving. Be careful next time, that's all.

I've honestly never cut myself from shaving, gotten razor burn on my face from dry shaving before, but not cut myself
