So, I have a new problem these days: Now that I'm stubble-free, exfoliated, and lotioned, my cheeks and chin are very shiny. What do you folks do about this (short of applying something like foundation)? :eek:
Thanks,

Talc. That's an old barber's trick, especially for the really pale skinned.
What Ilija said. Pinaud makes a good shaving talc (available at CVS pharmacy in the US), and the various barber supply stores online sell shaving talc as well.
I enjoy using the Clubman talc. I take a cheap shaving brush and sprinkle a little on the brush and brush my face with it. Learned that from a barber.
Talcum is very drying - its the nature of the beast. You might like to try powdered silk. Its more expensive, but you would only need a little, and its much kinder to the skin.

How about removing excess oils after you shave with an alcohol-based aftershave (rather than "lotion")?
This thread is making me feel very uncomfortable --powdered silk? Why don't I just cut off my jimmies while I'm at it ;).
