Thread: Any One Else Still Use After Shave Talc?

I was just curious if any of you use talc after applying after shave. I like to use because it helps soothe any irritations that I might get and makes my face feel smoother.

I use talc quite a bit during the summer months, but not on my face. I use it mainly on the back of my neck and on the "sensitive" area to cut down on irritation from the heat and humidity.

I use corn starch in the arm pits and groin in the warmer months.

I prefer to marinate in my own juices in the summer months... Swamp ass can be a natural pestiside...

I usually end with a bit of talc on my face. Leaves it nice and smooth, not sticky. Then of course on the sweaty parts that rub together and my shoes.

Curious what kind of talc you guys are using. I am on the clubman right now, but I've seen Trumpers, Penhaligons and some others that probably smell great.

I use Stephan's Ultra Fine Talc. You can get it on Amazon or Williamsport Barber Supply. I have used Clublman. You can also check Ebay and find some vintage talc.

Oddly, in Florida a state with many swamps, swamp ass is also known as ball soup

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 .

no swamps here but we do get greeted by Betty Swallocks

Can't find talc in the stores around here. It's all change over to cornstarch. Use that with Vit E and something else added. Works the same. ? Could it be a cheap by product of corn fermentation??
