MAGIC SHAVE tutorial 

Thanks man. Just thought that other people could use some insight on it. I'm gonna buy the powder my next go round.

Thanks man u are a life saver...

This looks interesting, I'm gonna show this to my bf. He's having problems with ingrown hairs but just complaining about it. Thanks!

Great video. I have been using it for years myself. Now I always buy the powder and mix with water and leave on around 10 minutes(thats kind of long) but depending upon your face the amount of time. I also get in the shower right after. But I don't use a spatula to remove. I just use my face cloth. But I think I will try and fine one of those plastic straight edge to remove the cream. Also try to use the Aloe version in can. My face doesn't dry out when I use it. I never keep the powder moist. I always just let it dry to the touch and wait 7-10 minutes.

Yeah, when i first bought it i followed the instructions EXACTLY LOL! I've ventured into washing my face too with no problems...But yeah, the credit card thing sounds easier so i might start doing that...thanks taxman for the info, the comment and rating! i appreciated it

@nickelwindow53 glad it worked for you. I also use the shae butter.

After seeing this video I went and bought this stuff last night. I have really thick and coarse hair so shaving is painful and I'm always looking for an alternative. The product works great and removed 90% of the hair and only left a little bit in the areas where the hair is extra thick, for me that's on my neck underneath my jaw line. Next time I will have to apply it thicker in certain areas. Does burn slightly but nothing too bad.

cool...yeah, my Wahls worked pretty good too, but once the blades dulled i switched to magic shave... its been great these few months that ive been using it.

@MDkid1 Maybe, but using a spatula or a plastic card would be the best, easiest way. Using only water would leave a lot of hairs still embedded in your skin. The spatula serves to sorta uproot them (easily)...plus thats a whole lotta gunk on your face and just rinsing it off might be even more messy.

yeah, i think im gonna try out the powder soon. Thanks for viewing

ok. i just got this stuff. same one you got and.... holy hell it really do work it just i didn use to much on my face since it was my first time. but it removed the hair on neck etc, few spot missed but next time ill do it right with little more. damn man thx alot dude. THIS IS THE SH@#!

Yeah i try to put enough on tho where I know it'll come off the first time, but now I've switched over to the powered form. Maybe you can try that one. It's a lil more messy, but it seems to be more powerful...plus since you mix it yourself, you should be able to make it as string as you need it to be.

hey these is a good video man also you have nice clear smooth skin.. i was wondering what products do you use to wash your face and do you moisturize?

I've been using the cream for years. My father used the powder since the 80s. I have noticed the formula has change. The cream no longer burns the face and has shea butter in it now.

@tokiokoetai Yes, I used it for a while. It's way more messy (during the mixing process), but to me it's stronger. I actually liked the powder better, but the tube is way more convenient.

So this doesnt give you a smooth face as a razor would, or at least close to it?

This Was A Great Tutorial :)

I put on a LOT. I let it sit for around 12 minutes. I used a spatula to take the cream off and then wiped it all off with warm water. It doesn't seem to get as close as a razor. I can still feel the stubs. Also, it missed a lot of hairs. I will give it another try. I will either use more, or let it sit for a longer period of time. I didn't have much hair at all either. I shaved a few days ago so it should have had no problem taking this all off

Yeah, I know what you mean. A guy used a razor on me a long time ago and it itched and felt sensitive as the hair was coming back. When used as directed the magic shave is supposed to stop all that. I hadnt noticed any itching or anything as the hair comes back.

thanks.Thats a great idea

I really dont do too much special to my face. Usually if I shave with clippers I always put on this aftershave like goop called Bump Fighter. I've been using it for years and i guess it works bc I havent had any bumps while using it...occasionally, I put on some blackhead scrub stuff, but not too often. For moisture, you could use cocobutter and cocobutter soap. Most of the time I just use good ol Dial though.

I'm a boy 15 years and I found this product at walmart in the soap isle. Less than 5.00$. But I use this to shave my head bald and it worked good. I had the brown kind.

@beebah90 The razors are what start the ingrown hairs because razors cut the skin and the hair can't get out when the skin starts to grow. Because this product doesn't cut the skin, ingrown hairs become rare.

yeah, with the amount that i use when I apply it, I get about 5 uses i believe...i usualy only shave about once a week though...it's not too bad. A tube is like $3 at our local Wal Mart.

thx man... was nervous about putting this on.

Thanks man, Im italian, and have crazy thick hair that curves in when grows, Im going to try this. I tried nair and got a crazy burning rash from it. How does this stuff feel?

@winMillz Great advice! This is key! "ultra sharp" tweezers work best.

Thanks dude am gonna try it, by the way am light skin like you and i can see that yourt face is pretty spotless, any tip about facial cream i should use or any moisturizer? Thanks

thanx for the insight

when you put the cream on do you start the 10minuteswhen you first start to put it on or do you wait 10mintues after you finish the whole beard

hey yo thanks again so much for the info, i think ill just try it out on my head first, should i let my hair grow out some first, or is it ok now, i probably have a cm of hair now, sorry for asking you so much about the product you seem to know whats up, and what lotion do you use afterwards

Now for the powder do u HAVE to mix it with water or u can use it by its self raw powder?

Thanks for the good video.

@Kaney I would put on bump fighter moisturizing cream and never had a prob, but everyone's skin is different

good tutorial video!

What I've found that works best when using Magic Shave is to: 1) Wash your face with warm water and your favorite face product. b) Let your face dry a little bit and then apply an after shave balm to your face. The aftershave balm will soak into your skin and protect it against the harsh chemical of the MS. c) Let the MS sit on your face for the required time. d) Now take a shower and wipe off the Magic Shave in the shower. All that heat and steam from the shower will do wonders.

i usually use a product called Bump Fighter. Google it and you will be able to see what the package looks like. Ive been using the Bump fighter for years so i just keep using it...the MS says not to use any achohol containing products afterwards e.g. Bump Fighter, but i do and it hasn't caused any probs...lotion should be ok. I usually give it about 10 mins then apply lotion or the BF. Thats just what I do. Of course, If you notice any irritation, stop...oh yeah, usually use coco butter lotion.

what would happen if i put this on for 8 minuits washed it off and shaved normaly with shaving foam would i just get a realy close shave or would my face be iritated and end up scratching a layer of skin off

OMG, I literally just got out of the shower and used this product down south....it works GREATTT !!!! (used a subway card to take the hair out)...the only downside is the strong putrid smell, but who cares it gets the job done...just make sure to shower and rinse it off well after each use...so long razor.

ok ok last question for ya, do you know when can we put lotion on for after use the MS thanks again E

hi what else can you use as i dont have a spatula

Did it leave any stubble or was it a smooth finish?

Hey I was just wondering...if you can't use soap or anything...then...if I use magic shave in the morning...does this mean I can't go and have my shower...where I would wash my body and obviously face with my soap/shower gel...I don't understand the point of being able to shave but then not being able to shower conveniently afterwards or before...please help...I haven't used the product yet since I love my shower, not sure if I'm willing to give it up for a day just because I "shaved"what to do?

you can buy it at wal-mart,k-mart, target ...any goods store such as those

Hey do you just machine wash the towel so that you can reuse it again? I ask because man when you remove the residual hairs you pretty much ruin the towel...so to save myself money...will machine washing the towel be enough to reuse it again?

Nice video!!!

I've thought about doing that, but I haven't yet. I dont think it would be a problem as long as you wait long enough. Like, a few hours. not immediately afterwards.

can you put moisturizing cream afterwards or do you have to wait 24 hours?

@PLATINUMMAXIMUM09 it's mainly for black men bc our hair is coarse and when the skin is irritated with a razor, the hair grows back into the follicle causing a bump...i would say that if you have problems with razor bump you should try it out. If you dont get razor bumps, your current meathod of shaving should be ok.

Hello, I just saw your video. I just started shaving my head bald last year (2012) and I am currently using a Braun Series 5 electric razor to do this. However, I am having problems getting all the hair shaved off, with several passes with the razor it leaves hair behind and I get razor bumps and irritated skin from passing over unsuccessfully getting the hair removed. I find that I have to shave every day to stay bald. One more question, where do you buy this stuff?

I honestly dont know if its availible outside the US. It doesnt really even get much advertising here in the states, so I really cant say...If you happen to find some, i recommend the powdered form. since you have ingrown hairs, what i would do is use tweezers to remove them and then try the magic shave...i dont know how fast you'll get a response, but maybe you could try to contact SoftSheen Carson thru their site to see if they ship out of the country. Good luck! Thanks for viewing!

@Rusty293able No problem. Thanks!

Hey is this easy to maneuver around, because I want to keep a little chin beard but get rid of everything else.

can you use the bottle itself as a scraper

it should be if you work with it a little. You'll probably have to use clippers to shape it up though.

Does the cream still leave a shadow?

WinMillz I tried the powered version back in 89 or 90. It tore my face up. Now its 2010, I tried the cream version put it on and left it on for 10 min. Tried to scrape it off with the edge of the magic shave tube. I took of grits of hair. Tried to take the rest off with the spatula. Took off the same thing only little specs. Wiped off the rest of the cream with a warm rag. Made me look like I never shaved. i jusr rinsed it off and shaved the rest. No break out or anything.Guess not 4 me

good tut bro but can i apply any type of after shave after im done using magic ? and the day after i used magic can i wash my face with soap ?

Hello thanks for watching...I'm no dermatologist, but i think I can explain it a little. When a razor grazes across your face it irritates the skin and causes it to become inflammed. My theory is that this swelling causes the hair to be trapped under the skin. The hair tries to grow back, but since its trapped it turns into a bump. With this stuff, in most cases there is no swelling or irritation so the hair is free to grow and not trapped, therefore fewer razor bumps.

It says that you shouldnt, but I do. I wash my face with coco butter soap (or Dial sometimes) afterwards and I use Bump Fighter aftershave. I may try the Neutrogena like fufu125 mentioned. I just just said not to in the vid bc hadnt been using it for long at the time and didnt want to be giving bad advice. I use soap all the time now.

will magic shave remove hair that is covered by a thin layer of hair?

@DeathAdder83 I used it Sunday. It's now Wednesday and I have a just noticable amount of stubble.

i tend to switch between clippers and the magic shave, but I've been using it for about 10 months and havent noticed any darkening.

How do you prevent it from burning?

is it best to take it off in the shower and to make sure its still wet right? because I used it n I had a lot of hair left when removing it

Can you use bump stopper after this? or no?

Should I let the product be dry or wet when I try to remove it? I am never able to get all the hair removed.

@Kmamin27 u have to make sure that you mix it THICK....like Toothpaste. if it isnt that thick, then it isnt mixed correctly. you can use any colored can (gold, silver or the stinky red or blue cans).... Wal Mart sells it for

Where do you buy this besides online?

How long do u leave it On your Face ??

do they make you shave everyday in the academy

sorry, the question came out wrong, let me refrase it. I kinda know how ingrown hair accur and it's basically the way you described it. What I meant to ask was how does the magic shave prevent ingrowing hair to come about? If it now does so? A couple of days ago I was in contact with softsheen through e mail, haven't heard from them yet. I just want to say thanks to you for taking time and giving response and tips to me, I really appreciate it!

where can i find this in toronto

A correction, to your statement, about the application. If all the hair doesn't come off, after the first application.. You CAN, immediately apply another layer. Wait a few minutes...apply a small amount to your fingers, and massage it through the area, for a couple minutes. Then, take a damp cloth, and rub it off.

nice video man. well spoken young adult

Very nice Vid, i'm afraid to try it cause what if i get ingrown hairs, and how often do you use the product, thanks for listening, E

How long till the hair starts growing back?

I would wait until i finish the whole beard to start the count down. I may not take that long with everyones hair tho so you may have experiment...right now, i've switched over to using the powered form that you mix. it seems stronger. I only leave it on for about 7 or so minutes.

For me, my advice is to USE A LOT of the cream and use even more (to the point where you can't see through to your skin) on places that have the most hair on your beard...and you'll be smooth...I always use a lot and never get stubble left behind...I have had a few cases where a little piece of moustache or beard doesn't get removed here or there because its hard to do it 100% right every time...but if you use a lot, and highlight your most hair full areas...you'll be smooth, I know I am XD

@giguchan well i actually used the powder form of magic shave down there and it worked perfectly lol :)

where did u purchase this??

hi I live in sweden (originally from Ethiopia), and i was just wondering a couple of things about this product. what happens when the hair grows back? what's keeping the hair from not grow into the skin like it usually does? And for my last question I was wondering If you can get this product outside the U.S.? I've wisited the magic shave site, and I doesn't seem that it's possible. ty beforehand !

Damnnnn your face looks smooth! :D Ever used the powder?

i thought it said that you cant shave before the cream but could be wrong. ive used it and shaved a lot afterword but that could just be me.

is it recomended for black guys and white guys? cuz diffrent people have diffrent hair growths.

Thanks for watching. I'm gonna have to try the powdered form out. I've heard that it was stronger.

I've been using the cream for years. My father used the powder since the 80s. I have noticed the formula has change. The cream nolonger burns the face and has shea butter in it now.

@winMillz I see...thanks for "clearing" that up! :)

Thanks. I wouldnt use it for the chest or armpit...for the chest you could try Nair For Men, but no depilitory that i know of is recommended for underarms.

I've been using this stuff for year...although I use the powder version. I use to shave with a razor and got those nasty bumps under my neck. This stuff..while it stinks like hell...works perfectly. I will never apply a razor face again!

Wow! lol!! You really use a spatula... lol! I use a credit card or motel key card. It works just fine. I have been using Magic shave for so long that I can usually wash my face with soap and water afterward with no problems. Nice informative vid though.

this is only a suggestion, but maybe you could use clippers to cut some of the hair in the problem areas down, then use the magic shave.

My barber used a razor on my face last week and bumped up like a mofo! I usually use clippers on my face. My beard is starting to grow back and the itching/bumps are killing me. How is it when your beard begins to grow back with the magic shave? Any itching/bumps or irritation?

I get HORRIBLE razor burn. I am very pale (as proof in my videos lol) and it looks disgusting. I even break out sometimes because of shaving irritation. I have searched for years trying to find something that would work. I am going to try this out. Thank you so very much. I hope to throw away my razors and expensive post shave products. lol.

I use to use this product cos i hate shaving with a shaving stick as it gives me bumbs. But my dad told me that the after/future effects of this product is sever and causes some altercation to hair growth and skin whatever. For abt 2 weeks now i,ve been using razor but its so itchy and irritating bringing ot bumps, i just need to know for sure if the after effect is really dangerous as my dad claims cos i really love this product but am scared of its supposed future effects.

you're str8, ask all you want, but I'm no pro lol. I'm just going off my personal experiences....i think they make a different kind for head hair. I think its magic shave "smooth"...its in a brown and white tube.

@TheLynsie im pretty sure I said that in the video.

i actually use the magic shave gold powder that comes in the can every day.........i have use both products but for some reason the one in this video burned me....but magic shave gold in the can works so much better u should try that one too and post a vid its great and really cheap.......thanks for the vid

when i use this cream , it burn me ...i put A LOT of cream but my skin burn so much ...I don't know why , please help me

DOESNT IT BURN?
