I have been using this for some time now and I love it. I have three important points if you want to try it:1. If your skin is sensitive, consider another product, this one works but the formula is very strong and may leave you irritated.2. DONT overextend the time, 7 minutes it’s fine or even less will work, but don’t make the same mistake as me, the longer you leave it on, the higher the chances you’re gonna get burnt.3. Use gloves, as I said: the formula is very strong and it may burn your fingers if you apply the product with a bare hand. Also, for better results, trim the longer hairs and you won’t last as long waiting for it to finish.And lastly: yes, this works EVERYWHERE.

So I have pcos and have struggled with excess body hair since puberty and have tried just about everything to deal with it. Shaving, waxing, nair, veet, etc. and I have to say this is one of the better products I’ve tried!I did a test patch on my arm first and it worked well and didn’t bother my skin at all so I tried it last night pretty much from my toes up to my hips as well as on my bikini line and tummy. I left it on for 6 and a half minutes and man did it work! I did just like the directions said and mixed it up (in total it took about 6 tablespoons of powder plus 6 of water to cover everything) and then I used a spray bottle to keep all the spots wet when they started to dry. I used a damp rag to wipe it all away and the hair just came right off!The smell wasn’t too strong and wasn’t unpleasant, but the powder is so fine it did want to get everywhere while I was mixing it and it was a bit messy to apply. The one thing I did notice is that although it didn’t leave any tender, itchy, or painful spots on the places I applied it, it did greatly bother my hands where I have eczema at so I would definitely wear gloves next time I use it. It felt like it took off the top layer of skin on my hands, so if you have eczema or sensitive skin I would be careful with it. It left the skin on my legs super soft tho!The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is that I already feel like I’m starting to get a little stubble back the next day. It’s not as bad as it usually is the day after shaving, but I was sort of under the assumption that it would be more like veet or nair where it took a couple days for the hair to grow back. Still a great product but disappointing that I’ll have to use it almost as often as I would regularly have to shave.

Magic Shave: Tips from 30 Years of ExperienceLet me share the most effective way I've found to use Magic Shave (Black and Gold can) after three decades of regular use.Getting the Mix Right:The key is in the preparation. Pour your powder in a bowl, add water, and here's the important part - let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before mixing. This resting time makes all the difference - the powder naturally absorbs the water, making it much easier to blend. After waiting, use a spatula to mix until smooth. If needed, add small amounts of water until you get the consistency you want. A thicker mix removes hair better, but you'll need to be more careful with timing.Application Steps:1. Do this in the shower - makes cleanup a breeze2. Use the No Razor Shaver (Amazon item #Br48503)3. Critical safety point: Never leave it on your skin longer than 5-7 minutes4. For removal:- Use a spray bottle or shower water- Work against the grain at an angle- Make several passes to get everythingClean-Up:Very important - don't use a washcloth or anything abrasive when washing your face afterward! Your skin will be more sensitive, so just use your hands with gentle soap and rinse with water. Rough materials can irritate your skin.Routine:Use it every other day, not daily - your skin needs that break. Always wash gently afterward and use moisturizer, especially in winter when skin gets drier.What to Expect:- Gets rid of 99-100% of hair- No ingrown hairs- Stays smooth about two days- Black and Gold can works bestSafety First:That 5-7 minute maximum on your skin is crucial - don't exceed it. The stronger your mix, the better it works, but also watch your skin more carefully.Only Real Drawback:Yes, it smells like sulfur. But the results are worth it.These techniques go beyond what's on the label, but they're proven through years of personal experience. Everyone's skin is different, but this method has worked reliably for me and many others.
