SoftSheen-Carson Fragrant Shaving Powder, 4.5-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

As a purveyor of fine shaving products, I decided to give the Shaving Powder a try, mostly to try and deal with ingrown hairs that show up on occasion.First the powder bears an eerie resemblance to cocaine. It also will get all over the place no matter how cautious or careful you are. It's not hard to clean up, but it's annoying.Second the container is not X-ray friendly, so despite the fact that it's a powder which is normally allowed through TSA, the cannister might cause them to stop you. When they open it and see what appears to be cocaine, they may very well proceed to frisk you. A very easy way to address this issue is for the manufacturer to consider a different container style, ideally one that is transparent and just screws on like any other cannister.Speaking of screw on, the container is difficult to open without a flat edge of some kind. I use a multi-tool that has a small metal cutting edge, then I don't completely re-close it afterwards; it's closed enough that it keeps it fresh but not so much that I can't re-open it by hand. Again, a different container would help this a lot.Mixing the powder and water is the worst. Of the total time it takes to complete the process I would say that mixing is the great majority of time, even more so than the set time. I really wish there were a way to just have a "micro blender" or something that could blend this faster.I've left it on for 10 minutes without issue. I wipe it off with a damp, hot towel while I'm in the shower, then proceed to wash my face with a scrub. Afterwards I go lightly over the area with a safety razor downward. The hair that doesn't get removed via the towel (I'd say roughly 30% does not) falls off easily with this method. I'm left with a baby smooth surface. This additional step seems only necessary with my face. If I use the powder on my body, the hot towel seems to get 95% of the hair off. Longer, fine hair, best results. Short, coarse hair, not so much.Good stuff and the value of this 12-pack was awesome.

The smell us awful and like sulfer and bleach mixed together, BUT this product works AMAZINGLY WELL!! I have thick hair and was worried it wouldn't work but it has worked great! Still leaves a few rogue hairs, but it's amazing considering it only takes a few mins

Use the product for 30 years, it takes the hair of in a few minutes and it does not have a burned hair smell

What I expected.

I have used Magic for 43 years its always has been a great product.

Love them

Product met Or exceeded expectations! So cheap. Smell is minimal. Especially compared to other products I’ve used. I have sensitive skin. 0 issues with this.

works good.
