Magic Shave Sensitive Skin is a product specifically designed for individuals with sensitive skin who struggle with traditional shaving methods. Shaving can often lead to irritation, redness, and discomfort for those with sensitive skin, but Magic Shave provides a solution to this problem. The main idea is that Magic Shave Sensitive Skin offers a gentle and effective way to remove unwanted hair without causing any irritation or discomfort. It is formulated with ingredients that are gentle on sensitive skin, helping to prevent razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and razor burn. This is achieved through a unique depilatory formula that breaks down the protein structure of hair, allowing it to be easily wiped away. The product is easy to use and can be applied to various areas of the body, including the face, legs, underarms, and bikini area.

Reviews & qa

Rated 5 out of 5 by stonegye from Bravo Zulu on inspections When I was in the military and used platinum instead of shaving for my personal inspections, I always got the highest ratings.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NKay from Best Experience I tried this skin conditioning shave powder for the first time last week. Best hair removal experience of my life! No burning, no rash, no itching, no redness, nothing! Just clean smooth underarms! Nair ate up my skin, this conditioned my skin. The smell was not that bad, very mild stinch. I bought another jar because I'm going to use it often. Love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by kaleell from MAGIC This was a good product. Once you get the right consistency it is way to apply and removes all hair with one swipe. The only thing that I did not like was the smell. Overall I would continue to buy this product in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by torim1 from Love this! Love this product so much! I use this for the bikini area and like it better than the original it's definitely not as harsh.. Easily removed the unwanted hair

Rated 5 out of 5 by dallasebony from Very unisex. it’s not just for men by the way. it’s so easy to use and left me completely confident in myself. I definitely have to admit I’ve never used it before now and I won’t stop afterwards either!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Faster and smoother than shaving! This works surprisingly well! It doesnt smell the best but a quick wash in the shower takes it away quickly. One pro tip, use something hard and flat to take the hair off, like an old credit card. It works way better than just trying to use a washcloth like you would with nair.

Rated 5 out of 5 by marciacd1c8 from Easy to use! Very easy to use and good results especially for men. I tried it for myself on my legs (just to see if it would work for me as well as it did on my bf’s beard) and it did work but I almost burned myself. So please follow the directions as they are very true! This is intended for a specific audience and I love the product because of it! Will be buying more of this in my household for the men in my life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by leslieponelove from Timeless My dad used this when I was a child and I remember watching him mix the powder and apply it to his face. Today, at 84 he smiled after using it again with conditioning. A timeless product.

Anybody ever tried Magic Shave on their face?
July 9, 2010 8:28 AM Subscribe

I hate shaving, and my workout routine has switched my showers from early morning to late evenings, so I often forget to shave. Ingrown hairs are also a problem for me, especially with the 500 blade razors that give the closest shave ever. Previously I would just use a beard trimmer without a guard and always have a five o'clock shadow, but now I work at a place with stronger appearance guidelines where I need to be clean shaven, so that is out. I am hoping I can try this depilatory and be good with once a week or so.

I searched previous posts, and only found one instance where someone suggests using it on "sensitive areas" (genitals), so it must be fine for my face, right?

I'm a white guy in my early 30s with medium beard growth, definitely not light but not extremely heavy.

My one concern - the cans all say "Formulated for black men to help stop razor bumps." WTF?

I have no experience with this product, but that last sentence probably refers to the tendency for darker skin to keloid [Warning: moderately disturbing medical photo] during scar formation. Smooth shaving seems to be a serious problem for a lot of men of sub-Saharan descent, since ingrown hairs can produce significant and disfiguring growths. I am not sure whether it's also true for shaving the legs, but I have known a few men who have worn bears in defiance (well, approved defiance, I suppose) of dress codes for this reason.

"Formulated for black men to help stop razor bumps."

Yeah, due to the way their type of hair grows, it requires a different shaving technique to prevent constantly getting bumps/ingrowns, which is a risk. This is also why there is some argument as to whether it is better for black guys to shave against the grain, rather than with.

Honestly? I wouldn't use haircare product not formulated for your type of hair. Or, rather, formulated specifically for a type of hair you do not have.

In high school, I was in a program where one of the staff members was a black man who used said powder. One of the kids was out of razors, so tried to use the powder. His face got all red and uncomfortable, and it didn't do a thing for his very thick growing hair. I know Dave would said "don't do it dude".

It's been a while, and I no longer have the book, but is this the same product referenced as being used by Martin Luther King at the Lorraine on the morning of his death in Gerold Frank's 'An American Death?' That's the only anecdote I can think of associated with it. Granted, it is my understanding that Dr. King was black, but if it's the same product, he used it twice a day without apparent harm. I'm guessing it's Nair Lite.

I used this for about a month. I'm a white guy with thick, dark, curly facial hair. Razor burn was a serious problem for me which is why someone recommended I try this depilatory cream. Even if it works for you, it wont be a once a week thing. The cream should dissolve the hair down to the surface of the skin, but within a day or two of growth you'll look like you need another shave.

When it worked, my face would be completely smooth. However, the results were unpredictable. Sometimes it would seem to just thin out the hair, leaving most areas clean but with some stubborn hairs remaining. A quick painless shave with a razor would finish the job. Occasionally I would use the cream and look the same afterwards.

On a certain message board I've seen numerous women rave about this stuff for getting rid of buttcrack hair. That's a delicate area if there ever was one.
posted by Serene Empress Dork at 9:26 AM on July 9, 2010

Building off of what nomisxid said, it depends on how sensitive your skin is.

While it won't burn, it could end up getting red or blotchy -- I'm sure I would if I used it because I have super sensitive skin.

I know someone (white with similar characteristics to you) who used in jail (because you couldn't get razors, naturally) and most of the other guys (mainly black) used it. He found it to be helpful but even though he hates shaving, now that he's out, he wouldn't use it because of how it (only sometimes) it would make his skin look blotchy.

He doesn't shave every day for the same sensitive skin reason, and it sounds like if you do, so you might have better luck.
posted by MCMikeNamara at 9:36 AM on July 9, 2010

Middle-aged white woman here. It nicely takes care of my unwanted facial hair. I have fairly sensitive skin and have had no major problems. Just don't leave it on too long, though. I've had blotchy patches occur when I did that. It went away in a few hours.
posted by pentagoet at 10:07 AM on July 9, 2010

If the powder doesn't work for you, try using an old-fashioned single blade safety razor, soap, and brush. It's a lot more fun, and for me, reduced ingrown hairs by about 90%. There are a lot of web sites catering to enthusiasts of this kind of shaving like Badger and Blade.
posted by zsazsa at 10:20 AM on July 9, 2010 [1 favorite]

I've never tried it. Spreading a highly alkaline substance that's powerful enough to dissolve hair all over the face. just doesn't sound like a good idea [1] [2].

I used to hate shaving and had chronic problems with razor burn on my neck. Like Zsazsa, the solution that worked for me was going back in time to single-blade safety razors. I did some research, found Badger and Blade, and after some practice I have no more problems.
posted by kprincehouse at 10:54 AM on July 9, 2010

Yeah, I was going to tell you about Badger and Blade and double-edged safety razors. I guess I'm late to the party, but I'll add this: it completely changed the way I shave, much to the joy of my sensitive face and neck skin.
posted by willpie at 12:44 PM on July 9, 2010

I tried it once in college after seeing it in a black friend's room. I went out and bought some thinking I'd never have to shave again. It worked so-so, still had to touch up with a razor. And it made my face kind of red and splotchy and burny, like I had a rash.

Then again, I have kind of sensitive skin so it might be fine on you. If I were you I'd test it on one small area of your face on a weekend before going all out.

Reviews for "Beard Maintenance for Sensitive Skin: The Magic Shave Sensitive Skin Guide"

1. Jane - 1/5 stars - I bought Magic shave sensitive skin cream hoping it would provide a smooth and painless shaving experience, but I was extremely disappointed. The cream had a strong chemical smell that lingered even after rinsing it off. It also caused a burning sensation on my skin, which was far from the gentle experience it claimed to offer. Additionally, it left my skin feeling dry and irritated, rather than moisturized. I would not recommend this product to anyone with sensitive skin.

2. Mike - 2/5 stars - I have been using Magic shave sensitive skin cream for a few weeks now, and I haven't seen any noticeable difference in my shaving experience. While it did remove some hair, it wasn't as effective as I had hoped. The cream also had a strange texture that made it difficult to spread evenly, resulting in patchy hair removal. Furthermore, it left my skin feeling greasy and oily, even after thorough rinsing. Overall, I was disappointed with the performance of this product and will be looking for alternatives.

3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I purchased Magic shave sensitive skin cream based on the positive reviews I read, but unfortunately, it did not work well for me. The cream had a thick consistency that made it challenging to apply evenly on my skin. It also had a strong smell that I found unpleasant. When it came to the actual hair removal process, I found that it didn't work as effectively as other shaving creams I have used in the past. It left behind stubble, which was frustrating. Additionally, it caused redness and irritation on my skin. Overall, I was disappointed with the product and wouldn't recommend it.
