SoftSheen-Carson Magic Razorless Shaving for Men, Magic Skin Conditioning Shaving Powder, with Vitamin E and Aloe, formulated for Black Men, Depilatory, Helps Stop Razor Bumps, 4.5 oz

I've tried a wide variety of hair removal creams and specialty razors, and I have been consistently disappointed with the results. I have very thick and coarse hair. Usually the best case scenario with hair removal creams is that it thins the hair out a little bit to make the shaving easier. But then razors don't give me a smooth shave, and even when I get it as close as I can, I end up with my skin worn down and bloody.This powder was very cheap, so I figured I had nothing to lose in trying something new. I considered buying the maximum strength variety, but figured it was safer to go with the original formula for my first experience. The results were amazing! This actually REMOVED my hair, the way it was advertised! My skin was smooth! I thought maybe the first time was a fluke, but after I let the hair grow back and tried it again the results were the same! I'm thrilled with this stuff and will be a repeat customer.Does it smell bad? Yes, but actually less than the competitors. Does it sting a little? Yes, but again, less than the competitors. Overall, it is cheaper, smells better, hurts less, and actually works the way it is supposed to! Without a doubt, this is better than other hair removal products.

I, like most of us, saw this product on TikTok by a user that swore by this product. I decided to buy it and give it a try to see for myself if it was all that she had cracked it up to be. I read all of the reviews before purchasing, and decided to take all of the negative reviews with a grain of salt. I let my leg hair, armpit hair, and pubic hair grow out to about an 1/8” before trying. (had to do a triple whammy, all or nothing right?) WELL. I honestly give this product an 8.5/10. A lot of reviews I saw had complaints about mixing and the smell, I will admit that the powder does take a while to actually mix into the water, but if you follow the instructions it really isn’t that hard to get the correct consistency. I did this in a bathroom with an open window because the girl on TikTok recommended to do it in a well ventilated place due to the smell. The smell really isn’t that bad. It has a subtle chemical aroma, but NOTHING compared to Nair. It’s truly very subtle and not very bothersome. As for the consistency, it’s creamy and honestly pretty easy to apply. It goes on like lotion in a sense, but I did notice that you have to apply it kind of thick to reduce the dry-out of the product as it is sitting on your skin. I am fair in complexion with fairly irritable skin, and I have eczema. I left the product on my legs for the recommended time because my leg hair is finer in texture, and it’s blonde. For my underarms and pubic area, I caked the product on a little thicker and left it on longer because the hair is more coarse. The only thing I really disliked about the product is that it gets flaky as it dries, and it has a bit of a messy application. I used a damp washcloth to wipe the product off, as directed, and it was a little streaky coming off. However, the hair definitely came off with it. I ended up spraying myself off in the shower after fully wiping the product off of my skin to make sure there wasn’t any residue left behind. Let me just tell you how SOFT my skin was after drying off. The aloe and vitamin E do WONDERS for dry skin. My skin felt more moisturized and soft after use than it did before, and that’s saying a lot coming from someone with eczema. I would say overall that 98% of the hair was actually removed, and the 2% left over was in the areas with coarser hair. For the cost of the product, it is absolutely something that I will continue to buy and use. No razor burn, no chemical burn, a literal Brazilian wax in a can. I am happy with the results.

The extra strength is very effective on my body hair. I am an AfroLatino man and my hair texture is moderately coarse. I have mixed feelings about this product. It really does do a great job at removing hair. I used it on my thighs, butt, balls and lower legs. I mixed it and left it on for a minimum of 7 minutes and honestly, I’d say 90% of my body hair was gone and I was very smooth. Remember to wipe away with a wash cloth. I found this to be most effective.I do recommend against leaving it on your balls for greater than 4 minutes. It started to burn my balls by the 5 minute mark but it didn’t burn or irritate my skin anywhere else.The worst thing about this product is the smell. It creates a very strong odd chemical-like smell. I even opened the window when I applied it and it still created a strong smell that permeated throughout my apartment. The smell lingers in the apartment for at least 2 days. The smell isn’t a pleasant one either. Because of that I hate using the product. But I’ll continue to use it since it does a good job at hair removal. Maybe they can modify the fragrance without compromising the strength??
