The Oklahoma Sooners mascot is one of the most recognizable symbols of the university's athletics program. Nicknamed "Boomer" and "Sooner," the mascot has become an iconic figure representing the passion and energy of the Oklahoma Sooners sports teams. The origin of the mascot dates back to the land runs of the late 19th century, when settlers rushed to claim their share of the Oklahoma Territory. These settlers were nicknamed "Sooners" because they illegally entered the territory before it was officially open for settlement. This nickname eventually became associated with the state and its sports teams. The current iteration of the mascot is a costumed horse named "Boomer" or "Sooner.

Has anyone ever used a product called "Magic Shaving Powder"?
I am just curious about this product. I know you don't need a razor and brush but I worked with a guy a while back who used this stuff and he always had a face so clean and clear that it made me very curious about this product.
P.S. please feel free to move this post if needed.

Not Much. its not really a shave powder as such, more like a chemical treatment."There is more refreshment and stimulation in a nap, even of the briefest, than in all the alcohol ever distilled."

Ah, the romance of shaving via chemical treatment. It comes in two scents: Noxious Sulfur and Lavender.

Thioglycolic something, Lithium something. Nice:

I actually used Nair on my thigh one time just to test it out. Every single hair folicle turned into a red bump. I'd hate to see this on my face.

The original formula stinks to high heaven. I remember my father using the original formula and being force to shaved in the back yard due to it's smell. Some of the other formulas smell a little better.
In my quest to end PFB, I tried this stuff for a few years. You have to be extremely careful with how long you leave it on, or you will suffer from some serious chemical burns.
In college my friend tried to use this stuff. He read the instructions which said to leave on for 5 - 7 minutes. He applied it and waited 5 - 7 minutes, big mistake. He did not take into consideration the time it took him to apply it. He burned a nice layer of skin off, and sported a scalped beard area.
This also doesn't like sweat, your face has to be dry. They also tell you not to wash your face before hand. Oh yeah and don't even think about using alcohol or alcohol based product before or after using this stuff. I still have a two cans of this stuff. Man! I never throw stuff away! Be happy that you can use a blade.
Well, in all fairness to this product, it does work well if you follow the timing guidelines, and your skin can handle the chemicals. The chemicals perform a mild form of exfoliation. However, this is definitley not a product for stupid people.
Let's see what it says:
DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT WITH A RAZOR
Caution: Contains thioglycolate. Follow directions carefully.
This product may cause skin irritation. If skin is inflamed or has
skin abrasions, facial sores or pustules., consult a dermatologist
before using this product.
* Wait 36 hours before using a razor, shaving product or device.
* Do not use after perspiring heavily. Do not wash face before use.
* Do not use after prolonged sun exposure.
* Do not use with any after-shave product containing alcohol.
* Timing is crucial to avoid excessive irritation. For external use only.
If power or the mixture gets into eyes, rinse repeatedly, with water.

themba,
The way you've described the Magic Shaving Powder, especially the original formula, I'm at a loss as to why more of us have not switched from our DE razors to this.
Although for anyone interested I will gladly take your gently used DE's off your hands and ship a couple of these to your home, on me. PM me if interested.
Seriosly though, this should have a stupid human warning on it.

I've used it before also. Another drawback to it is that it can't be used every day. Marty J Posts: 90 Joined: Thu Apr 06, 2006 6:06 pm Location: County Down, Northern IrelandPost by Marty J » Mon Apr 17, 2006 4:36 pm

Ingredient breakdown for those interested:
Corn Starch Zea Mays is basic corn starch.
Calcium Carbonate is a calcium antacid. it is generally made from seashells and snail shells. Found in rocks.
Barium Sulfide is a depilatory. This is the same ingredient that makes products like Nair work.
Calcium Hydroxide is an acid neutralizer. Think Tums.
Ammonium thioglycolate is also called perm salt. It is used in perm applications to swell the hair so the perm solution may penetrate. In shaving, the swelled hair is easier to shave.
Personally, this sounds a little too dangerous and bothersome to make me give up a great soap or cream.
💪 Extra Strength Red Magic Shaving Powder - 5 oz (Pack of 3) Review
To be honest I would only recommend this product if you absolutely hate shaving. This works well, but the next day the hair has grown back a bit, so not the best alternative to daily shaving. The smell is bearable but still very eggy. It didn't irritate my skin and my skin is very sensitive.

In addition to the costumed horse mascot, the Oklahoma Sooners also have a live mascot named "Sooner Schooner." The Sooner Schooner is a covered wagon pulled by two white ponies that takes the field after every Oklahoma touchdown. It is a beloved tradition that has become synonymous with the university's football program. The Oklahoma Sooners mascot represents the rich history and tradition of the university's athletics program. It embodies the spirit of the team and the state of Oklahoma, adding a unique and memorable element to game days. Whether it's Boomer the costumed horse or the iconic Sooner Schooner, the mascots are an integral part of the Oklahoma Sooners' identity..
Reviews for "Bigger Than Football: The Oklahoma Sooners Mascot's Impact on the Community"
1. John - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Oklahoma Sonners mascot. I was expecting something fierce and powerful, but instead, we got a corn cob wearing a cowboy hat. It just didn't make any sense to me. It felt like a missed opportunity to have a mascot that truly represented the spirit and strength of the team.
2. Sarah - 1/5 - The Oklahoma Sonners mascot is honestly ridiculous. A corn cob? Really? It's embarrassing to see this as the face of our team. We deserve a mascot that strikes fear into the hearts of our opponents, not something that makes people laugh. I really hope they reconsider and come up with something more befitting of our team's image.
3. Michael - 2/5 - While I understand the attempt to incorporate the agricultural aspect of Oklahoma into the mascot design, the execution of the Oklahoma Sonners mascot was completely off. The corn cob wearing a cowboy hat just looks silly and doesn't inspire any sense of intimidation or excitement. It feels like a strange choice and a missed opportunity for a more memorable and compelling mascot.
4. Emily - 2/5 - As a fan of the Oklahoma Sonners, I was disappointed with the choice of mascot. It's hard to take a corn cob seriously, especially in the context of a sports team mascot. I think the team could have come up with a more creative and visually appealing representation of their spirit and identity. The current mascot just doesn't do justice to the team's legacy and accomplishments.
