Talc
- Thread starter Bear
- Start date
It used to be popular to use it as part of the routine.
Hot bath, shave, AS and Talc to finish up.
It has fallen out of popularity for several reason, one of which is the fear that talc is cancer related, though no evidence is present to prove it.

I quite enjoyed it, I may just pick up some clubman talc and give it another go, it's been about 25 years since I've used it.

I use the stuff. Gives a matte finish and helps but a capital "S" on the end of BBS.
Do you use the Clubman, or some other brand?
I have an old sock filled with Clubman talc which I pat on my chest after a shower. Mature smell and closer sillage than cologne IMO.
I use Clubman most days, but on days when I want to live large, out comes the Old Spice talc!

There is certainly evidence, but not substantial enough to find a conclusive answer yet.
i use clubman talc every time i shave. I put it on right after i put on my pinaud clubman aftershave. Im not old either.

I remember my barber using it when I used to get hair cuts as a child. It was a total old school barbershop that closed down

Ahhh, Old Spice Talc - have not even seen any in years!!
Yes, I said that.
I can remember mens talc being sold in the shops but alas like a lot things now not so much, boots and old spice are the 2 i see here in the uk but i have never worn talc and a bit like the op, not sure what it is for
keeps my neck dry so my collars don't feel rough on my skin.
it can help with razor bumps. its a multi functional tool.
I use Clubman talc on my undercarriage though that may be TMI. Does a nice job of keeping me dry though.
I also use CT on my chest sometimes.\in lieu of cologne.

In the Summer I'll rub Clubman or Caswell-Massey Lime talc on my lower neck, and behind my ears.
gold bond powder (with talc in it i believe) goes on in light dusting over the nether regions every morning. that's what you have to do living in virginia with a car that has a broken air conditioner.
I will buy a bottle of Clubman Talc tomorrow!!
I long for the Aftershave Talc, and will be sated!!

Clubman also makes a flesh colored or skin colored talc. Walgreen's used to carry it, they may still do. However, I picked up my barber sized regular Clubman talc at Sally's Beauty Supply about 4 years ago.
