I use Clubman talc on my neck when its hot.
I use Roberts Borotalco on my entire neck, chest and shoulders. I apply it with a very soft goat hair brush. I like it. I once had talc applied to my face after a shave by an old world Italian barber. Felt great and all that, but being of Italian decent, my skin is a bit dark. The talc now made me look like a ghost, but it was great on the skin. So now I just go to places other than the face.
Actually, more related to Asbestos. I remember in the old days after a haircut the barber would apply talc with a horsehair brush to your neck which was trimmed by a straight and there would be this huge cloud all around you.
These days they think inhaling the stuff can cause cancer.
I guess I'm not long for this world eh?
Very rarely, if I am going some place special and my face is too shiny. Some aftershaves really give me the high gloss effect, probably depending on how much witch hazel it has. I do use talc in general in these sweltering summer months.
Having never used talc I am left with a couple questions. Is the order aftershave and then talc or do you skip the AS? Is there a scent to the talc or is it just a neutral composition?
My post shave routine is, Cold Water splash, final touch up with razor, after shave, lots of Noxzema, when soaked into the skin, I use bath powder to smooth my face for that final feeling of pampering my self.
Feels good and useing Wal-Mart's own brand, Great Value, it's fairly cost effective.
Thanks.
I may have to try some one day. I suppose that I can never know until I try it what others see in a certain post shave treatment- and it might just have the light scent that I do not yet know I am looking for.
