My Leg-Shaving Scientific Experiment.
I have decided to do a little scientific research. Being a woman who, at this point in her life, could care less about shaving her legs on a regular basis, (unless there is a man in my future, every follicle of hair on my body will be groomed and/or yanked), I gave it a go tonight. Let’s be frank here. Shaving your legs is a pain in the butt and we all know it. Men whine and complain about having to shave their face and how sensitive their skin is-yadda, yadda, yadda. Don’t complain to me until you’ve managed to slice a 2 inch long gash with a cheap razor right before an interview and you show up with medical bandages wrapped around the top of your ankle and when asked, explain, “you had an accident.”
Back to my research. When shaving tonight, using 2 of the 4 dollar store razors I have left, I noticed something odd. The hair on my right leg grew more than the hair on my left leg. I have several theories-I’m right handed, when I last shaved the blades cut the hair on the left leg shorter and my favorite- my right leg faces north more often, (haven’t you heard the saying- moss grows on the north side of a tree?). Now, to prove any of my theories I have to put them into practice. I’m going to let the hair grow out again, measure, then begin with the first theory. I’ll do everything with my left hand for a week. If the hair on my left leg grows faster- then this proves theory 1-whichever hand you use determines the hair growth on your leg of the same side. I’ll shave again, this time using 2 razors of the same brand, one on each leg. This will only prove the blades on one razor worked better. On to my favorite experiment. I’ll walk with my right leg facing north for a week-complete with GPS or a compass. If the hair grows faster on my right leg-then we’ll know my right leg faces north more often.
This is important scientific research going on here people. I could win a prize. The Nobel Peace Prize- or stupid person of the year with nothing better to do award. Either way, I’ll become famous.
I myself am a masochist. I have the plug in machine that pulls the hair out by the roots. No cuts, no blood, only the lovely pain. I know my body is a true work of art because of the pain. It is good.
I wish you good luck with the experiment! I bet you will get the Nobel prize for it!

I don’t care what people say about waxing or depilatory creams. Those are for Hollywood stars… mere mortals like me still stick to shaving. It’s fast and effortless. lol
I use those razor blades for ladies and shaving gel. It helps. I never got a cut and it’s way smoother. (Smells nice too) lol
Did you use a shaving cream/gel? I heard you can use your hair conditioner as a shaving cream but I tried it and it’s not as good.
Will still wait for your research paper to be published…
Hallo! It will be nice to post up ur leg pic! Have a nice day!

It’s not truly scientific unless you can work a beaker into the experiment.

anti: You’re more woman than me. I had an Epilady years ago, tried one small area and said screw this, I’d rather pluck each hair one by one.
Malin: Thanks- I’ll share the Nobel with women around the world if I win.
No I’m not taking pics of my shaved legs. Google it- that’s what google is good for.
Leigh: Thanks. I need it.
Jason: You provide the beaker and we’ll titrate together.
eve: This experiment may take a while. Stay tuned.
Very nice. It is good to see home grown experiments

I used to hate shaving my legs, but now it all pales in comparison to the, erm, bikini area. Nothing is as bad as that.
Nothing.

I’d have to agree. I hate having to shave my bikini area.

You definitely should get a research prize for this. I’ll nominate you myself.
As for beakers and titration: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the precipitate!

I think you are right in saying it is because you are right handed. It is true that you would push harder on your right leg then your left. It will be interesting to see the outcome of the experiment.

This is hilarious!!! Maybe no Nobel prize.
A Ig prize maybe? A very entertaining post! If the project goes underday, I will donate!
Creazy ideas! I congratulate on it:)
