OUCH- I'm obviously out of practise!

I have always been a waxer/epiltorer (is that even a word??) Anyway, But since the Birth of Annabel I have only had my underarms and bikini waxed once- for my niece's christening. We just havent been able to afford it, so once a month about I would epilate my legs and about once a fortnight I'd shave my underarms. But today for some reason I was having my post gym/Annabel asleep shower and thought, bugger this, I'm going to shave, can't be bothered getting out the epilator. So I did my underarms first- no problems, and then I started on my legs and I am obviously out of practise because it took me a good 5 mins and I have 4 knicks!!! 3 on my L) leg- top of foot, knee and where your achillies is (did that first) and one on the R) knee. Well, I forgot how much they bleed and despite their small size- how much they hurt!!!

So I have decided that never again!!!! I am going to save every penny and go back to my lovely waxer lady!  It used to cost me about $35- for my 1/2 leg, bikini and underarm- I guess she has prob put the price up a bit, but even if it is only every 2 months, I am never shaving again!!!! I will put away every odd coin I get until I have enough to go and see her again!

OUCH! my knicks are stinging!!

Sorry I had to share this with you but I thought about ringing Adam and complaining to him, but I think he would just laugh.

As the swimming season starts back for me in 2 weeks, I had better get my bikini line waxed, but I had better pre- warn the beautician that I am coming and get her to cancel all other bookings for the day! Shocked Debbo

I honestly can't fault my venus shaver when used with the shaving foam. No nicks, smooth as and done in next to no time. The foam and doing it in the shower when the skin is moist seems to be the key.

Reading your email I could feel your pain / nicks because I've done that and it's pretty ordinary seeing the blood. I have an electric razer which works for my legs, hair removal cream for my bikini line and a normal shaver for my underarms which I do in the shower. So three different methods for three different parts of my body. I do find waxing very painful - but you need to do what works for you.
Good luck.

NO WAY NO HOW!! I tried waxing once but could not stand the pain (prefer labour). I shave and never get any cuts or rashes, i dont take any care, just use a good razer and get stuck into it.
But i guess everyone is different

That same thing happened to me the last time I shaved my legs about 20 years ago and I vowed to never shave again!
Give me a good waxing anyday:)
Hope your nicks heal quickly.

I havent nicked myself for ages but I remember those ones on the ankle seem to take weeks to stop bleeding!

I used to knick my legs all the time. Now I just get on with it and its done in no time. Last time I did mine was in the bath, beautiful relaxing bath when no one else was home Smiling I'm gonna do it again when mum and dad go to melbourne in a month that way I can wind down and relax for an hour or so.
