1. Magic: I use the Gold and Black can.  You can find this product in basically any drug stores.  It is usually kept in the ethnic section.  This product was formulated for dark skin males who I am told are more prone to razor bumps than lighter skin males.

2. Container: I just use a plain old yogurt plastic container to mix the magic in it....I find its shape just right in height and size.

3. Chopsticks : Magic calls for a wooden spatula to mix the powder with the water and I find this just do the right job.

4. Baggies : I use the Superstore brand...nothing fancy just buy the ones that comes with the twist ties.

5. Elastic bands : I went to the dog show and compared the ones who were the softest in texture and the ones who were the easiest to stretched.  Just so it doesn't become uncomfortable for them to where the bands while applying the magic.  

6. Gloves : I buy them by the box at the drug store.  Depending your hand size and what you feel comfortable with, basically any kind will do...I try to stay away from the ones who have a powdery coating.

7. Timer : One of your most important tool.  It is very important to not leave the magic on too long.  I turn my timer on as soon as I am finished applying the magic on.

8. Buff Gloves : These can also be bought at the drug store in the beauty department. I like to use them when I rinse off the magic off the skin.  I find the hair falls off better...Now...please try to scrub this on yourself before you do it to your dog.  It is somewhat rough and you really need to go gently!
