Actually, I've had four troops over the past year who had shaving waivers. And after a quick PIF and some instructions all were able to shave daily and have come off of their shaving waivers. I find it ironic that so many here know how to make it work and many African American members have found ways to make it work, but Dr's just recommend depilatory creams, disposable razors or in the end simply giving up and awarding (if you can call it that) a shaving waiver.
Do not use Magic Shave if you like your face.
Do not use Magic Shave if you breathe frequently.
Do not taunt Magic Shave.

Interesting, when I returned from Vietnam in January 71, I was assigned to the Old Guard doing ceremonies in and around Washington, DC. We had quite a few African American troops in the unit. And regulations required that we all be completely clean shaven. Everyone was using either a DE or with a very few exceptions, an injector. To my knowledge, not one of the men in my unit had problems with ingrown hairs or razor bumps until the TracII started showing up. To my recollection, every one who tried a multi-blade razor and developed razor bumps etc soon went back to a singe blade razor.When I was in the Army back in the '70s the majority of black guys were using Magic Powder - very few shaved with a razor. I recall the product having a pungent odor . . . half a dozen guys in the latrine using it at the same time was a little overwhelming!
Shaving powders are used instead of a razor; they chemically cause the hair to be removed from the skin.
