my ankle bleeds ferociously and the sad wind goes slaughtering butterflies. someone, for reassurance, tell me i'm not the only one in creation who's incapable of shaving without cutting herself? owowow. german razors are so much better than american ones. *glowers at blood-anointed american razor* *blames problem on anything but her own clumsiness*

I almost always cut myself shaving. There's a reason (besides laziness) that I almost never shave my legs (plus I don't wear shorts and I like loong skirts). So, you're not alone.

Nope, you're not the only one.

"my ankle bleeds ferociously and the sad wind goes slaughtering butterflies"... Jesus, that sounds like a Frank O'Hara poem... Anyway yeah, I've actually cut myself to the bone while shaving around my ankles (one more reason I should NEVER be allowed near sharp objects while not wearing my glasses), so you are SO not alone. *hugs, band-aids and comforting, motherly make-it-better kisses*

ahaha. "the sad wind goes slaughtering butterflies" is from "every day you play" by pablo neruda. translated, of course.

Now, now too, little one, you bring me honeysuckle,
and even your breasts smell of it.
While the sad wind goes slaughtering butterflies
I love you, and my happiness bites the plum of your mouth.

Ahora, ahora también, pequeña, me traes madreselvas,
y tienes hasta los senos perfumados.
Mientras el viento triste galopa matando mariposas
yo te amo, y mi alegría muerde tu boca de ciruela.

Ohhhh... that's so beautiful! I'm gonna go look up some more Pablo Neruda stuff now!

I always used to cut myself when I shaved. Found two solutions: current one is "don't shave". -g- Other one that works is "don't use anything but water" (no cream, soap, etc.). I keep getting told I'm insane for that one, but I'd rather have to slather myself with lotion than Neosporin(tm) after I'm done!
