Expectation:

Reality:

Glam.

2. It’s basically as fun and time-consuming as cleaning a bathroom

The effort, though.

3. It’s virtually impossible to not miss a spot

4. Did we mention that those razors that promise to turn you into a serene, hairless goddess are expensive as hell?

5. Also, goose pimples can appear and, boom, everything is ruined

ALL MY GOOD WORK!!!

- you, after shaving your legs

6. IT’S TOO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY

Oh, so you expect me to remember what day the bin goes out and when I last shaved my legs?

IT’S ALL TOO MUCH.

7. Even when you do it, nobody really notices anyway

Unless you literally shove your leg in their face, that is.

Is it really worth it?

8. This guy? He gets it

Godspeed, gals.
