aprilstarchildI had the strangest dream last night. I dreamed I shaved my legs. o_O
That doesn't seem odd until you realize I haven't shaved my legs or armpits since I was seventeen. But in my dream, there I was, except I was using cheap conditioner for shaving lotion. Also, I only shaved my calves, not my knees. Even in my dream I remembered that I always cut the crap out of my knees when I tried to shave them. Always! Goddamn. That was a huge reason I quit.
Main reason I quit: I don't like the feeling of stubble on my legs, and I was unwilling to do it every day. Just takes too dang long. But I never really got the hang of it anyway, and few things sting more than anti-perspirant on freshly/badly shaved pits. Or lotion on cut knees. I think have I have sensitive pits anyway--dang near everything makes me itch after a few days, so I switch through multiple deoderants.
Once when using a double razor my hand slipped, and I had two three-inch long parallel scars on one calf for that summer. Bled like mad.
I have relatively "girly" body hair, so if I'm wearing a skirt most people don't even notice unless they get close up or I tell them. *shrug* I'm thinking about waxing my pits--I'm way more self-conscious about those, what with my fondness for tank top/halter tops when it's hot, and the bellydance thing.
