Magic Shave 127 g Skin Conditioning Shaving Powder

Amazing product; though it does take a bit of mixing first. I have found the best way was to add a little cold water to the powder at a time as too much too soon made the powder 'float' on the water and was harder to work in. Once mixed in you get a really creamy mixture which is easy to apply to your skin. The results were amazing, really smooth skin in areas where I normally get razor burn or bumps.

I'm not a complete stranger to depilatory products having previously used Veet and Nair on my legs (and other areas) with no issues. I came across some reviews for Magic Shaving Powder and thought, why not, I'll give it a go, it's cheaper than buying the creams. Big mistake. As it's designed for the face, I thought I'll start there and use it for it's designed application before moving "lower". I followed the instructions, did a patch test, etc, and it was OK. Not perfectly smooth, but not too bad and quicker than a full-on wet shave (I've got a straight blade razor tucked away in the cupboard). I then mixed up a batch to do the rest of my beard and it was feeling fine. No stinging or burning, not even a slight tingle when it was on. Jumped in the shower to wash it off and it started to sting a little, but I figured that was probably just the flannel catching on some of the hairs as it wiped them off. I then got out and had a look in the mirror to find it had given horrible, patchy results (even the bits it had worked on weren't as smooth as the test patch), and also some bright red chemical burns. I jumped straight back in the shower and stayed there with the water cascading over my face for at least another 20 minutes to make sure that there was none left on my skin to make it any worse. I'm now sitting here at around 10pm wondering if I need to jump on my bike and head up to the hospital because it's burning so much. Not a chance that I'm going to try it again, especially where I had originally planned to use it. Would not like to have to explain that one to A&E. PS. Sorry for the views up my nostrils, was trying to show the patchy results and burns (one with and one without flash).

It's a great little shaving powder to just quickly get rid of hair but after first use, I probably will not reach for this again. I made the paste, put it on my legs, all was fine until straight after taking it off (5 minutes - the recommended time) it instantly irritated my legs. They were so sore and painful. My skin was throbbing and i can't understand why because i followed all of the instructions perfectly. This is definitely not for sensitive skin, this stuff irritates. I should of trusted what others said because i'll be left with sore legs until my hair grows back now. I'll stick to shaving.

Worked effectively on all areas of my body, hard to mix but if you keep at it it mixes into a thick paste eventually, it melted my hairs right off, I left it 7 minutes and wiped off with a wet flannel. Cons - the stench, honestly not sure if it’s worth it due to the stench alone, it reeks of fish and animal urine it stings my nostrils. However it was faster than shaving!

So, I have sensitive skin, I know everyone says that but I do. For me razors are not great and hair removal cream... definitely not great. This cream however is AMAZING. I can vary the thickness of the mixture, I can make as little or as much as I need. Yeah the smell whilst using it is about the same as most hair removal creams but I've found it doesn't stick to me, so when it's washed off that's it, it's gone. Also, I've found that it really does work very well and I don't have any issues with skin sensitivity from it so that a huge win for me. The amounts you get for your money is more than double what you'd get in a tube and it's recyclable so all you plastic warriors out there can use it guilt free.

I have sensitive skin and get terrible rashes which last for weeks after any form of hair removal. This product has been a godsend. It goes much further than hair removal creams such as Nair and Veet (which didn't even work for me), and hasn't caused irritation. Seems to work fine absolutely anywhere. My only criticisms are the smell isn't the nicest and it's difficult to mix into paste (tends to float on the water for a long time but just keep mixing and it works eventually) - which are tiny issues and worth it for the low price.

Do not buy this product, it’s dangerous and lethal. Spending time reading carefully instructions I applied a small amount to a test area, well under the 5 min required it started to burn almost immediately. It’s like sever sunburn, half my face is red and skin feels funny. More to the point it hasn’t removed any hair. Would have been more effective and less painful to wax my face and then sandpaper it.

I've bought so many products that "help" lessen razor bumps but man this stuff gets rid of them completely. Not a single one. It takes 4 minutes to work and while they grow back a little bit quicker they're so soft and less painful. It's completely reasonable to do this everyday. If you have longer hair to get rid off you need to rub it in a bit to avoid patchiness but I will never shave again
