Magic Shaving Power: Why I Stopped Using it

Well technically I haven't yet stopped, I am just considering... Ah not so fast though, before jumping to the conclusion I should tell you a little about me?! So I can feel I am talking to some good ol' buddies... you know... So let me set the mood here and show you these sexy pics of mine...

 Well I should start by saying "I AM TO BLAME FOR THIS" and Magic is totally not at fault here. So if you're from the company making this baddass you can relax. This story is not a rant, just a word of caution from a lesson harshly and duly learnt.

So it all started with my first use of this depilatory goodness; It was a saturday (I totally remember these sorta details though) and I had done my first shave with the powder. The smell was horrible: I could smell it on me the whle day. But the worst part was I has patches of beard all over my face. See I was suppose to put the paste, made from the powder 8 minutes on my skin, then remove it. Needless to say 8 minutes was never quite enough for me, cause I am baddass right? So started adding to the timer until I finally got myself @Ze_Perfect_Shame. Turns out I was twice the man they thought I was, cause it took me twice the time to get the beard off.

Fast forward 5 years and you get me today and my roasted neck. Like I said before, all my fault. But I bet you still wanna hear the details so here it is: The latest formulation with skin mosturizer, improved smell. Yeah well I put it on and as usual waited the record time of 20 minutes. No biggy, I had done it before with the stinky formula and nothing had happen, well! I guess this formulating doesn't like being on my skin too long, or maybe my neck I much more fragile than my super chin which as usual came of perfectly shaved and unscathed.

So yeah, my neck is the wimp and I am totally to blame. But having experienced this for myself I think I never want to do this again. It's like being bitten by a taratula right? (Yeah probably) You jus get scared of all kind of spiders and then start having nightmares and choking at the sight of hallooween spider shaped gummy, right? Well I just never wanna have my skin burnt like this again. So much for a clean and bump free shave. Guess I'll have to settle for the trimmer now.
