SoftSheen-CarsonMagic Razorless Shaving for Men, Magic Extra Strength Shaving Powder, for Coarse Textured Beards, formulated for Black Men, Depilatory, Helps Stop Razor Bumps, 5 oz

Fantastic product. Works amazingly. Let myself become part Sasquatch before using and am now hairless pain-free, and even left it on longer than recommended (since the hair was so long and thick), and no chemical burns.IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE, please know that it WILL DISCOLOR JEWELRY. Take anything off - I used my hands to apply the stuff and my wedding ring got ruined. That is my fault, but please take your jewelry off.

Love it! It lasts a while and so I don’t have to repurchase that often. Tip: Leave on until it starts to dry out and then rewet it with a spray bottle of water just a little bit. I usually leave it on for like 10 minutes and I’m good

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??

I'm the unlucky one. You know, that girl with skin so white it's transparent AND has the thick, dark black leg and arm hair. Yeah, I pretty much have pubes for leg hair.I'm sick of shaving. I go through razors like candy and since my hair is thick, I can't just grab the cheapo ones. I heard the rave reviews, and the smell warning, but since I was sure I'd killed my sense of smell between accidentally mixing mustard gas to mop floors & getting the coof twice, I figured I wouldn't smell it.Man was I wrong.Firstly, The water to powder ratio is off, especially if you're trying to do more than a test patch, you'll want a smooth, thick, spreadable but not watery texture. If you are able to supply it without getting it everywhere, you gotta keep it moist and not too thick or thin.The smell is horrid, some have said it's like rotten eggs or sulfur, no. It is way worse. The stench lingered and permeated my entire house, with the bathroom door closed.And to remove it, for the love of God, use the back of a butter knife or spoon edge and drop the roll of caked mud into something you can throw away issue of your house. Screw the wash cloth, it'll cake it up quick, keep the smell through 2 washes and you don't want that thick mixture going in your drains.And after you DO get it off, you'll rinse it 5 times, still smell it AND have a film of white powder... until you scrub it. Rinsing won't work, soap won't work, you gotta soap and loofah or rough washcloth the area GENTLY! IF you go too rough, you're gonna have a burning sensation for days only in the places you scrubbed.It works.It absolutely works.It works for the coarsest thickest hair.It doesn't stubble for at least 3 days.But, for the love of all that is holy, do not let the mixture stay in your house - in a trash bin, on a rag, in your drains. Just scrape and toss in the dumpster or trash bin outside.Use only when absolutely desperate.Nair takes longer on my hair, but, I'll take that smell over this every day.

I tried this as it seemed like an interesting alternative to shaving and seemed to be pitched as a nair alternative (though I’ve never used nair on my face). I am a 33 year old man & I used the Men’s Extra Strength on my beard. I did a test patch and it was great but I did have a hard time getting the product to the right consistency. Always seemed runny. Anyway followed the instructions and though it smells AWFUL- pure sulfur smell- I was excited to see if it worked. Didn’t feel any burning except a little irritation around my lips but that seemed within the realm of normal. Started to take the product off and it was incredible difficult to do so (more than say a nair on your legs). The moment I started to take the product off, it began to BURN. I’ve never gone from 0-60 so fast in my life. I was rushing to wipe this away and had to scrub at certain areas. It left FULL patches of hair for seemingly no reason and it says you shouldn’t use a razor after. But we are talking our faces here so am I supposed to just go around with patches of cm long hair? I had a few pimples I didn’t know about in my beard and they were bleeding profusely. It’s now been about 24 hours. My skin never turned red as a whole but the few pimples look like volcanos and my face still feels like it’s on fire. Any moisturizer I put on gives me a Kevin after shave Home Alone moment x100. It feels like a horrible sunburn and in the parts where my skin was clear it looks normal but still feels awful. I’m worried about having any contact with the sun until this feeling subsides. Also dispute burning candles, fans, central air, open windows, and cooking several meals, our house still reeks of sulfur. I’ve never had such a disappointing experience in my life. It sounds like it works great for other people but if the test patch can’t be an accurate indicator, I personally don’t think it’s worth the risk.
