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

Great product, I've used for years. Very effective. Remember to follow directions. Everyone skin is different so may not work for all. Really have to experiment with how long to leave on to be effective. Smell is not great.

Been using this brand for years works great. I rarely get any ingrown hairs. Doesn’t have the best smell, but this is a cream that you’re applying to your body so I would like to assume you’re washing it off after.

At first, I was skeptical of shaving in a "non-traditional" way, but this product has completely changed my mind. After a small trim, using this will get you extremely smooth, and it lasts a couple days for me, too. It will require some trial and error to figure out what mix works best for you, and in this trial and error phase, you may slight experience chemical burns (especially when you've never used it before). I would not recommend applying it more than once in the same area on the same day, as it will hurt. Figure out what amount of powder to mix with what amount of water works good for the area you're shaving, and stick to it. After few uses, you won't even feel any burning anymore. I'd recommend using gloves while applying it. Overall this powder is great, it's cheap, and I personally don't find any issues with the smell. Though due to the learning curve and small risk to chemical burns (especially when it's your first use), it may not be for everyone. However, I'd argue that razor burn and nicks are very equatable when learning how to shave in the first place.

I have been using this product for years on my bikini area and occasionally legs. It is very effective and painless if used properly, but in the beginning I did lightly chemical burn myself a few times and had trouble mixing it to the right consistency. It does take a bit of time to mix fully, but I recommend buying a small mixing bowl set. One of the tools that comes with the set will also be useful for popping off the lid of the can. The brush will make it easy to apply. Then instead of using a wash cloth I have a dedicated brushy sponge to use for rubbing it off at the end of 10-15 minutes. At this point it is really easy and completely painless for me! For ladies, make sure it absolutely only stays on the outside spots of your bikini area. You will get a painful chemical burn if it at all touches the inner parts. I generally lay in the tub to apply it and use a mirror or phone camera to check that I did not get it on the wrong area. For men, my fiancé occasionally uses it all over his groin/private area successfully except we wrap the wrappable part up with a tissue and a hairtie/rubber band. It is better for both genders, to at first be on the lower end of time something like 8-10 minutes and possibly not have it on long enough to be completely effective, than to start out with something like 15 minutes and potentially burn yourself because it happened to be to long for your skin. 15 minutes is what works for me, but take a few tries to see what is best for you. If you DO chemically burn yourself, it is important to google what to do and follow the directions online about rinsing the area and bandaging. You will live but it will hurt for a few days!

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.

I am getting tired of using a razor and I can't afford another 10 rounds of laser quite yet, so I tried this out since it's affordable. I have thick thiiiiick underarm hairs, I'm talking like I legit have pili multigemini aka multiple hairs from one shaft and they're THICK. I would frequently get ingrowns with shaving due to this and you can imagine it's painful. This did not burn like Nair does, THANK GOODNESS. I might try it elsewhere on my body. My armpits are smooth. I used it at night after a cool shower just in case I couldn't wear deodorant afterwards. Woke up the next morning and the hair hasn't sprouted back up instantly like it does with shaving so I call that a win. Going to stick with this until I can get laser again!!
