We are all these women suffering from a terrible shave

Read article : We are all these women suffering from a terrible shave

SHAVING doesn’t come easy to all of us, and regardless of how many times we’ve done it, we’re bound to make some mistakes every now and again.

Hands up who has forgotten to shave half a leg and only noticed once out on a date! Hands down if you also forgot to shave your armpits, right?

Ditching the crucial exfoliating step before shaving happens more than we'd like to admit, and leaving the deed till the very last minute with us rushing before going on that dreamy date is almost a Friday night date on itself.

We've been doing it for years, and you'd think by now we'd know just how to get the perfect shave!

But if you keep finding yourself on the phone telling your bestie just what a blunder you just made, worry not!

You'll find most women fall into the same traps over and over, but we are here to tell you why you need to get it together and reach for the sky! – well, maybe just reach for nice, clean blades as they often do the trick.

We've put together the most cringe-worthy shaving tales from Twitter so you don't have to repeat these ladies' mistakes...

Giving yourself razor burn

Stop rushing gal![Twitter]

Classic scenario.. You couldn't be bothered to be do things right and left it to the very last minute. Gal, the best time to shave is the night before and allow yourself a good 15 minutes in the shower to make those hairs soft!

Grabbing a cheap razor

Some spots are hard to reach with rigid razors[Twitter]

Well, Allison... you only got yourself to blame on this one, don't you?

Cheap razors will make you go over and over the same spot and irritate your skin. Also it is the lack of head flexibility that will make for a bloody shaving experience around those tricky areas. At least we'll give Allison some credit for being self-aware.

Believing you don't deserve a luxurious shave

Trust us, you don't have to break the bank for a fancy razor[Twitter]

You'd be forgiven to think a 'fancy five blades razor' will cost you a fortune. After all we've all been to our nearest shop and found we can't spare the cash on some disposable razor costing more than seven quid. 

But Cindi, we are here to tell you there is a new shaving club in town – just for women – and that they'll deliver a fancy, multi-blade razor along with new blades you can change weekly to your door. And you know what Cindi? Friction Free Shaving is way cheaper that all those disposable razors you keep buying, it's only a fiver a month.

Missing a spot...

It's hard to see in the shower if you got them all out[Twitter]

We have yet to hear from a woman who's never had the dreadful realisation they've missed a spot on their last shave. And it's true you can't compare your dim bathroom light in the shower with the sun shining directly onto your legs. The horror!

But Raquel, you could've totally ran your hands up your legs and notice the hairs. You clearly forgot to moisturise after, just sayin'.

Blunt razors

Is there anything worse than a blunt razor on your armpit?[Twitter]

This one hurts to even think about! Your armpits' skin is so precious and delicate we simply can't get over the fact you'd do something like this. Not if you are over 15 anyway. 

We hope you got some oil on the go and skipped the deodorant that day.

Sharing is NOT caring

Sharing razors is a no-no[Twitter]

We are glad Giovanna knows the deal and doesn't reach out for her boyfriend's razor, but it doesn't seem like he knows you're not supposed to share blades. Girl, maybe a little chat with the man-child is due?

Respect your skin like this dude respects women's hardship

Yass! Props to all of us for being boss at so many things[Twitter]

OK, this one is not a shaving fail but we thought we'd give this man a shout out for his moral support to the ladies.

He is right, we are the real Most Valuable Player out there.

And even though we make some mistakes along the way, we totally nail this being a woman thing.
