    Default Face Powder Anyone?

    I am wondering if anyone uses face powder/talc after the shaves. My barber wrapped his hand in a cloth and dabbed my face with powder after he put the aftershave on me.

    How many of you guys actually use talc or powder, or is it just a barber thing?

    I use it now and then. Not too much as it has a scent and I am trying different colognes.

    That's a little too metrosexual for my tastes. I draw the line at aftershave.

    I thought they stopped using talc because it caused cancer or something like that if you inhale it in.

    Default Talc and cancer

    Before 1973, some talcum powders contained asbestos. Now, by law, commercially availbe talc products must be certified asbestos free.

    There is no known cancer risk associated with talc inhalation. However, talc is strongly suspected in some types of ovarian cancer. See Gertrg DM, Hunter DJ, Cramer DW, Colditz GA, Speizer FE, Willett WC, Hankinson SE. Prospective study of talc use and ovarian cancer. J Natal Cancer Inst. 2000: 92:249-252.

    My work here is done.

    Thumbs up talc is good

    I am a barber in vegas @ 1 of the casino barber shops and shave between 12-20 men a day.I always use talc after i use after shave balm (i never use an after shave splash)the talc used sparingly leaves the face w/a nice mat finish and absorbs any excess balm used to moisturise the face after the shave.

    Elkutta, are there any tricks of the trade that you would be willing to share with us to get better shaves? Shaving that many men a day has surely made you an expert on str8 shaving. Thanks in advance for any info you share.

    Any tips you'd like to share? Products that you really like, or don't? What sort of equipment do you use?
