Thread: Anyone use Clubman powder?

I used to have really oily skin. I remember someone told me that their dermatologist said it's unnecessary to wash your body with soap everyday and that skin usually gets clean enough from the water and run down of shampoo and/or soap on the face. So a couple years ago I tried this and stopped washing every nook and cranny on my body with soap everyday (and now I only do when it's a must like after having been working in dirt or whatever, which is rare, easily less than once every couple months). Worked wonders for my body. I no longer have to deal with dryness immediately after washing or oiliness after the dryness wears off as I did when I was younger. And recently I stopped washing my face with soap and replaced it with extra virgin olive oil. My face is now no longer oily. And it's even dry at times after shaving and I can use lotion without getting oily again, whereas my face used to be quite oily most of the time (minus the dryness immediately after washing). And no, I don't smell like a salad, nor does my face still feel dirty. Moral of the story, soap isn't very good for the skin.

If I'm not mistaken, part of the science behind this is that if you don't wash with oil removing stuffs (ie. soap) as much, your body learns to stop making as much oil, solving the problem and giving you all around better skin in the process.

I really like how the Clubman Powder smells and would put it on every day if the wife liked how it smelled too.

My wife rates Clubman a solid 9 and the powder is the same scent. I have the green light to get and use as much as I want. Needless to say, I'm now buying them two at a time. Just got my first bottle of Pinaud Bay Rum. She rates it a 2, but I wear it anyways. Nice to mix them up. Unless I'm trying to negotiate a new purchase, then I hide my Bay Rum.

You are a lucky man, she sounds like a keeper.

I do barber work on Men who come in to my Salon. I use Clubman all the time. It's a thick powder, so I suggest using lightly on arid/dry skin. It can gump up.

I bought a horsehair duster to apply mine. Works great. Today's post shave was Clubman a/s, powder, and hair gel. I think I'm turning into a walking billboard for Pinaud. Can't wait for my commission haha.

What is it used for exactly? I did a google search after reading this thread, and amazing this post is #6 on the google search for "what is clubman powder used for". Lol


Can you guys give a more specific reason as to why you would choose this product?

Edit: I have seen this stuff at walmart lately and read the bottle I am still lost as to why I would need it and when I would use it.

I use it to keep me from feeling sticky. It also makes me feel and smell nice and clean.
