ROYAL CROWN SHAVING POWDER is a regular strength cream shave formula for normal beards, used to give a closer shave without the 'bumps' from a razor. It comes with a light fresh scent and works in 4 minutes to last 4 days. To Use: Apply a moderate thick amount paste of the cream to your face (a mix of two spoonfuls), enough that you can't see the hair beneath it. Note: Use every 4-5 days, do not wait too long between shaves before using it. Do not wet beards before use.
