Thread: Pinaud

I started with my ususal shave gel Gellet pro glide sensitive skin. That was nice but wasteful I thought. So I bought the walmart aleo and shea butter shave soap. I'm loving that. When I first decided to straight shave I ran out and bought what I had seen for years in barber shops "Pinaud" shaving talc. I have messed around and tried to make a lather with no luck so I sprinkle a lil on my soap cake so I can have that amazing smell. Can anyone tell me how to make that awesome thick lather I like but with pinaud? I love the smell and have noticed its mainly used as a "Second" pass dry shave. I seen on youtube a guy use something similar but it took about 7 or 8 min to. get a tiny layer of lather. Is there another way other then coating my face with the powder and then rubbing wet hands to make a lather? Wow I cranked out a book sorry.

I think it's just for electric shaving to dry the oils in the skin.

How would one use talc to get lather?

I can see using regular shaving soap and adding a bit of Clubman aftershave for the scent.

If you want a soap that smells like Pinaud Clubman try Mama Bear. She has so many varieties of soap she's bound to have one similar to PC.

SRD makes some great soaps of their own I recommend getting a sampler pack. I have used 3 so far and love the sandalwood and the vanilla bourbon, the other one I don't remember the name I didn't like the smell too much. They wont smell like what you are looking for but I found that the majority smelled great through the plastic bags.
