Thread: Any One Else Still Use After Shave Talc?

I have some Clubman Talc but I don't use it very often. If I feel like I'm sweaty in that area or I'm going to wear a light colored collard shirt I'll put a dab on. I do miss getting dusted after a hair cut. It really seemed to "finish" it for me.

Just wanted to put the carcinogenic talc myth to bed with some science.

Cosmetic talc should not be listed as a - PubMed Mobile

I don't use talc but there are two types of talc, one being perfectly fine for use and the other contaminated form is a carcinogen WHMIS Classifications: Talc, Containing No Asbestos or Crystalline Silica .

Of course I use it! Johnson & Johnson "Baby Powder" -- what else would I use after a BBS shave?!?!

completely agree, cosmetic talc is completely safe while industrial talc contains asbestiform particles that promote tumor growth through chronic irritation and gene mutations.

no swamps here but we do get greeted by Betty Swallocks

I used Clubman talc today, here was my shave.

Prep cold water
Strop SRD old school 2" natural
Soap Van Der Hagen
Shaving bowl My Wife found this at Good Will for .49 cents. Works great.
Brush Old original badger
Razor Hess
After the Shave Alum Block
Post Shave, face Clubman talc

I use it on my face, I'm trying to decide if it goes good with old spice aftershave, scent wise.

I use Gold Bond and apply it with a nice horsehair brush that a barber gave me. For some reason this just seems to "finish" shave and I'm not sure why. I have been concerned about the whole cancer deal and not sure if Gold Bond is the same as Talc. Anyone know?
