So we're all friends here, right?? I willl share my shaving experience with you.

Last night, I shaved my legs for the first time. Don't get me wrong. For the past years I haven't been walking around looking like a hairy beast. I used those creams that you spread on and then wash off after a few minutes and the hair is gone. I was getting tired of doing it that way. It's so time consuming and you have to be extra careful and make sure all the cream is off. And I don't think those chemicals are good for you.

So I decided to try shaving. I didn't try this sooner because I was terrorfied of holding a blade to my skin. I thought I was going to cut myself. I thought I was going to get razor bumps. I thought my skin was going to fall off. I was imagining a total disaster. 

But just like tampons, they aren't as scary as you think.

I was nervous as hell but I decided to go for it. I bought some disposable razors and some shave gel. I read on the internet to use a generous amount of gel. I ended up using way too much so when I washed my hands off I washed my leg off too. So I had to re-apply the gel, the next time a little less generous. I was able to shave the front part of my leg with no trouble but the back I didn't get that well. It still came out kinda smooth though. I'll get better overtime. 

One of the reasons why it took me so long to shave was because I didn't want my hair to grow back thicker. And I heard you have to shave like every other day. My fingers are crossed! Hopefully it won't happen to me. But it's so much easier than the cream so I'll keep doing it and see what happens~

Just out of curiosity..

How old were you when you started shaving?? And how did you do it??
