Magic Shave. MY ARSE.
So I tried the famed "Magic Shave" cream. The one that everyone raved about. I had to go to 4 different stores before I finally found it. I used it on my lady parts and left it on for the max suggested time. I wiped it off with a wash cloth like so many people suggested and not a single hair came out. I guess I'm not one of the lucky ones. My hair is pretty thick and coarse. DAMN THE MAN.
