Summer is finally upon us! It's time to ditch the jeans and break out the shorts and dresses. But for some people, that means one dreaded thing—it's shaving season. And for the ladies who decide to shave, these 35 thoughts are all of us.
If part of your grooming ritual involves shaving your legs, then you know that the excitement of summer also comes with the serious damper of self-imposed beauty responsibilities. Why do we do this to ourselves? Why can't we embrace our natural state? Why can't we afford laser hair removal? Read on for the thoughts that go through our head every single time we pick up the razor.
1. "OMG, I can wear shorts tomorrow!"
2. "These legs haven't seen the light of day since October."
3. "Which means… I have to shave."
4. *to roommate* "This'll be a long shower, FYI. I need to shave everywhere."
5. "Where is my shaving cream?"
6."Or does soap work better?"
7. "I've heard conditioner works, but I'm already running low."
8. "Ah, there's my shaving cream. Does anyone really know how much to squirt into their hand?"
9. "Whoops, that's a little too much."
10. "I'll use what's left in my hands for my pits"
11. "Ok, if I move the water stream back there, and put my leg up here…"
12. "Why weren't showers built with shaving in mind?!"
13. "Do they have any idea how long of a process this is?"
14. "Down with the patriarchy."
15. "My leg is sore from standing on one foot for so long."
16. "Ok, caaarefully over the knee…"
17. "Shit. How do I always get cut in these weird spots?"
18. "Why is it bleeding so much?!"
19. "If I die right now, they're gonna discover my naked dead body with one shaved leg and one hairy one."
20. "I swear the hair on the back of my thighs grows in nine different directions."
21. "Finally done with this leg."
22. "Let's rest in the hot water for a sec."
23. "Onto the other leg."
24. "My cut is still bleeding, WTF."
25. "Is that hair on my toes?"
26. "Should I shave that?"
27. "FINALLY finished both legs."
28. *rubs legs together under the water*
29. "I feel like a sexy dolphin."
30. "Wait, no, that was weird."
31. "I feel pretty damn good, though."
32. "I can hook up with whoever I want!"
33. *to roommate* "Feel my legs."
34. "Damnit."
35. "I missed a spot."
