Wow! I've been hearing about Magic for months on the boards as a recommended alternative to blade shaving. I bought some, but left it sitting in the drawer for weeks. Today I pulled it out and tested it on my inner forearm. (Rather be burnt there than on my balls!) The test was fine so I coated my balls and waited nervously for the minimum 5 minutes before rinsing off.
The results so far are great! I have far fewer missed hairs than shaving and slightly less stubble. I haven't experienced any discomfort or burning. I'll let you all know how my gf likes it after tonight...
On a side note, I hadn't noticed anybody mention that it came as a powder in a can. At least around here, that is the only form in which it comes. Add a little water, stir, and apply. I actually found that applying it was the hardest part! I used a spoon, which worked ok, but watch out for drips.
For next time, I plan to apply it a little bit thicker and leave it on for 7 minutes. (Directions give a range of 5-7 minutes.) I figure that should take care of the strays and stubble. I'll also report back on those results.
Thanks for the great suggestion everybody!
