  • Smooth finish without razor bumps
Size: 4.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This shaving powder is designed to remove hair without a razor, which helps reduce irritation and razor bumps. It works by softening hair so it can be wiped away, leaving the skin smooth when used correctly. It’s especially helpful for coarse hair and sensitive skin types prone to razor irritation. The application process is simple but requires following timing instructions carefully. Overall, it’s a convenient alternative to traditional shaving for smoother results. ... show more

  • Clean Shave Without the Razor!
Size: 4.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is a product you just cannot replace because it simply gets results every single time. I do not have to go to a barber and pay astronomical prices for a shave or hair cut. The magic shave provides a close, clean shave on my face each time and all I do is add water to the powder and stir to make a nice paste. I usually leave it on for about 13 minutes and take it off with cool water. I can look forward to a thorough job each time whether it's a shave to the face or a fresh bald head. I am totally on board with my magic shave by SoftSheen-Carson. I would highly recommend this item as the product never fails. This is the right choice! ... show more

  • Amazing for removing hair
Size: 4.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
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. ... show more

  • Great product when used properly Great product when used properly
Size: 4.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Magic Shave: Tips from 30 Years of Experience Let 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 breeze 2. Use the No Razor Shaver (Amazon item #Br48503) 3. Critical safety point: Never leave it on your skin longer than 5-7 minutes 4. For removal: - Use a spray bottle or shower water - Work against the grain at an angle - Make several passes to get everything Clean-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 best Safety 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. ... show more

  • Good for a quick fix. Not a permanent solution.
Size: 4.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Let me just say, it doesn't eliminate the problem. I thought it would be similar to nair, sort of. Just nair actually stinks with the chemicals, and nair burns. This doesnt burn, unless it sits on your face too long. Otherwise it doesn't smell, and it acts like its a quick shave with a razor or trimmer. I'm a female and having to take care of thick facial hair on a regular basis has been a really long, knowledgeable, and exhausting journey. I've tried everything from Nair cream (typically for legs and body), to facial strips, to electrolysis (the absolute worst if you have a low pain tolerance like I do), "European waxing" (second worst because I was given someone who couldn't grip the wax. I walked out needing to get first aid), epilator (this hurts a lot since it pulls all hairs. even peach fuzz), I've done regular waxing too.... nothing had helped... and I was finding other ways to just give me a temporary fix for the next 48 hours looking like a cactus until it grew back. After a good 20 years of this journey, and I've given up on quick fixing unless I need to work with the public. I've been just using tweezers now for the last month carefully pulling the hairs out one by one. Since its a temporary pain instead of a lasting pain from ripping something off. I have no complaints with this powder, it did what it was supposed to do, but it was also a stepping stone for me to figure out a permanent solution to removing my issue. My mid star rating is just because it wasnt really what I was looking for in the end. ... show more

  • My. Face. Is. On. Fire. My. Face. Is. On. Fire.
Size: 4.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I think I found a review of this product in one of my daily news feed, where it was praised as something borderline miraculous that could help with ingrown hairs. For $1.75 (that should’ve been my first red flag), close to 14k reviews (at the time of this writing), and 4 stars, this was bound to truly be the shaving dream that was missing from my life. Following the instructions as a test was okay. No real irritation, but no beard came off. I brushed it off as a non-issue, and decided I would try at some other time. Enter today. Again, judiciously following the instructions, I applied the watery paste on my entire face and neck. Second red flag, the smell of hair-dissolving chemical should’ve alerted me (a la Danger, Will Robinson!), but NO, of course it was just the smell of the fragrance—or so I told myself—and set to let it sit for the suggested 7 minutes. So far so good, my skin tingled a bit, but nothing terrible just yet! The instructions said to use a damp cloth to remove the paste along with your now-dissolved beard, so I did that. As I began wiping my face, the _burn_ started to set in. You can see it in the picture: not just some of my beard came off, but parts of the upper layer of my skin, too. After I cleaned the mixture off my face with the cloth, the horrible chemical burn set in. The instructions stated to use water to clean off any excess, so I practically submerged my face in water to help with the burn, and removed what was left of the paste from my face and neck. It has been easily 15 minutes since I finished and that I decided to write this review, and my face is still burning. Needless to say, I tossed the product in the garbage, and begged my kids to not trust everything they read on the Internet. Did I mention this stuff didn’t even remove all of my beard? Funny, the instructions do state to repeat the process after 24 hours if you have any beard remaining, but there is no way on this green Earth that I am putting a spec of that stuff on my face ever again. Save yourself the pain, the discomfort, and don’t use this unless you don’t care for your face feeling and looking like it was dragged on cement. ... show more

  • Budget-friendly and gets the job done!
Size: 4.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This worked really well for me, especially for the price. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do and gets the job done without needing a razor, which is nice. I didn’t have any major issues using it, and the process was pretty straightforward. One thing to note. when the hair grew back on my arms, it came in a little differently than usual. Not a dealbreaker, just something I noticed. Overall though, it’s inexpensive, effective, and definitely worth trying if you’re looking for an easy alternative to shaving. ... show more
