Talc

[feltspanky]

Get some Clubman Talc and you''ll see how the old school guys did it.

So in the context of shaving, talc should be applied as the last step in a routine, as an after-aftershave?

In shaving it is used last as a way to lower the shine on your face.

=1 private parts now feet when I was younger. love the smell of it. living in Oregon there is no humidity but still use it

+1 Keeps everything dry and lubricated during the day. It also keeps any funk away (especially if it's medicated).

Nowadays barbers can't brush your neck because of sanitation concerns with using the same brush on multiple people, so that step is pretty much gone... My father in-law is a barber, and I happened to ask him this question last month when he cut my hair!

Definitely not gone - my barber uses a cloth to apply the talc. I myself have moved to the Pinaud Bath Talc from the Pinaud Clubman Talc. It smells a bit different but doesnt have the pink coloring added.

I apply D.R. Harris Arlington talc after showering. It has a wonderful lemon citrus scent.

In Florida, summer is pretty much a ten-month season, so I have more than a half-dozen different talcs/cornstarch powders. I do not use it on my face, but just about everywhere else mentioned above, plus a kind of talc just for my feet/shoes. In the 1960s Mennen Talc for Men and English Leather Talc were my favorites. Now I like Gold Bond Ultimate Comfort powder (which bills itself as talc-free!), and, of course, Clubman.
Stay Dry, My Friends!

I use Clubman Talc on my private parts and on my chest after showering. It works well to control sweating and keep me cool. I could never stand to use it on my face. It does feel good on my neck if I must wear a shirt and tie. As someone else mentioned already.

Baby powder works well too!

Same for me. !!!

I have Clubman talc as the scent is exactly like the original Clubman aftershave. I bought a barbers fillable talc duster and every morning before I put my shirt on whether I've shaved or not I dust off the back of my neck, shoulders and behind my ears. I just like the feeling and smell of it and it feels like I just left the barbershop every morning.
