SoftSheen-Carson Magic Razorless Shaving for Men, Magic Shaving Powder with Fragrance, Coarse Textured Beards, Formulated for Black Men, Depilatory, Helps Stop Razor Bumps, Since 1901, 4.5 oz

I have been using this for some time now and I love it. I have three important points if you want to try it:1. If your skin is sensitive, consider another product, this one works but the formula is very strong and may leave you irritated.2. DONT overextend the time, 7 minutes it’s fine or even less will work, but don’t make the same mistake as me, the longer you leave it on, the higher the chances you’re gonna get burnt.3. Use gloves, as I said: the formula is very strong and it may burn your fingers if you apply the product with a bare hand. Also, for better results, trim the longer hairs and you won’t last as long waiting for it to finish.And lastly: yes, this works EVERYWHERE.

No smell horrible smell like other hair removal products and works very efficiently!!

Lord help me! Several weeks ago, I saw this "no-shaving" hack on Tiktok and decided to try it. I know, "that sounds like a great plan April. You're a glutton for punishment aren't you?" Well, probably but that's another story entirely.I'm allergic to both Veet & Nair so after those experiences I was hesitant and thinking, yep I'm gonna mess myself up. So I bought the can of Magic Shaving Powder and I waited for what felt like half my lifetime for it to arrive at my door. It finally did! Then I unceremoniously shoved it into a box and moved.While unpacking one of the never ending box piles from hell, I happened back upon this sweet little gold-ish gem. So as I was assertively told in the videos I didn't shave my legs for a few days. Maybe a week. Who's counting when you have an excuse this good?It's Friday and I'm attending a wedding shower tomorrow so I though, what better time to see how badly I can break out in hives? "Gosh, April, you are really good at timing?" I know, because that's what I said. Just now.So I read the back of the bottle? Tube? Cylindrical canister. On which bold white letters on a black back ground proceeded to give me the bad news first. Cool, just the way I like it. Do not use this product with a razor. I didn't intend to. That's the whole point. Follow all directions carefully. Maybe, we will see. Only to be used to remove facial hair. Ha! Have you seen ladies leg hairs? Even the dog didn't wanna cuddle me because a Brillo pad would be more comfy. Test product before use. Go big or go home right?Amongst the directions it told me to remoisten the powder if it gets dry. We all hate that word and just for using the M word I'm not doing it. Plus Tiktok told me too, and we can totally trust Tiktok.After removing the paint can-style lid (thanks for that Magic) I did follow the directions, sort of, mostly, -ish, for mixing the powder into paste which btw, may be the most physically taxing thing I have done all night. I mean holy smokes, Batman. I've never in my life seen a powder so difficult to get wet. What's in this crap? Latex? I hope not. I'm allergic to that too but I'm too tired of reading this can to find out.Eventually, it finally decided to become a paste. Cool. I then proceeded to smear it all over my legs with my fingers, which I quickly regretted, washed my hands and grabbed a spoon. I throughly slathered my off-white legs until they became, snow white instead.But I'm me, so I didn't stop there. I coated all of the areas in which I didn't want hair anymore. Yep, ALL of them. I'm a girl, so.... that's pretty much from the nose down. Leave my eyebrows alone. I'm keeping those. I saw what happened to my daughter when she found mommy's trimmer.I sat semi-patiently on my couch waiting for it to dry. Okay, not patiently at all but I filled my time with, well Tiktok videos. Should've made one. Dammit. Missed opportunity. I waited for the snow goo to dry and become powdery again.I discovered I had made a massive mess on my couch, but I would deal with the aftermath later as I always do. Procrastination is my greatest skill. I snuck half naked to the kitchen hoping my neighbors aren't peeking at the new girl who currently looks like she may be the walking dead to my bathroom and ran the hot water.I got the rag wet, like Tiktok told me to then I proceeded to cautiously wipe away the dried cake batter of death from my skin. Slowly. Methodically even.To my shock and actual dismay, it took the hair off. Gone. Just like that. I laughed, flipped my razor off and finished removing the toxic smelling stuff away from my skin. As if I was not shocked enough that it actually worked, my skin was not red or irritated. Not even those.... ahem.... tender, parts.Color me impressed. Well Magic Shaving Powder people, I understand the name now. Proper branding. I like that. Oh and btw guys, this stuff is like $2 a can at Walmart. You're welcome.

Magic Shave: Tips from 30 Years of ExperienceLet me share the most effective way I've found to use Magic Shave (Black and Gold can) after three decades of regular use.Getting the Mix Right:The key is in the preparation. Pour your powder in a bowl, add water, and here's the important part - let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before mixing. This resting time makes all the difference - the powder naturally absorbs the water, making it much easier to blend. After waiting, use a spatula to mix until smooth. If needed, add small amounts of water until you get the consistency you want. A thicker mix removes hair better, but you'll need to be more careful with timing.Application Steps:1. Do this in the shower - makes cleanup a breeze2. Use the No Razor Shaver (Amazon item #Br48503)3. Critical safety point: Never leave it on your skin longer than 5-7 minutes4. For removal:- Use a spray bottle or shower water- Work against the grain at an angle- Make several passes to get everythingClean-Up:Very important - don't use a washcloth or anything abrasive when washing your face afterward! Your skin will be more sensitive, so just use your hands with gentle soap and rinse with water. Rough materials can irritate your skin.Routine:Use it every other day, not daily - your skin needs that break. Always wash gently afterward and use moisturizer, especially in winter when skin gets drier.What to Expect:- Gets rid of 99-100% of hair- No ingrown hairs- Stays smooth about two days- Black and Gold can works bestSafety First:That 5-7 minute maximum on your skin is crucial - don't exceed it. The stronger your mix, the better it works, but also watch your skin more carefully.Only Real Drawback:Yes, it smells like sulfur. But the results are worth it.These techniques go beyond what's on the label, but they're proven through years of personal experience. Everyone's skin is different, but this method has worked reliably for me and many others.

I have PCOS which means I have to pluck or wax my chin/neck hairs constantly. I figured I would try something different and this powder was recommended on TT so I said why not. I followed the directions and applied for 7 minutes then wiped with a damp cloth. Did it get rid of the hair? Yes yes it did, I only applied it once and it got every hair BUT I guess my skin is too sensitive because my face got super red for a few hours even after washing my face thoroughly. The next day I could already feel the chin stubble coming back since it can only get rid of hair that's exposed so while this product does work it's not for me. I rather wax or pluck so I'm able to remove the whole hair root and go without waxing for a week.
