Thread: How do I use Talc?

I've bought some Clubman Talc and when I use it I tend to look like a snowman!
What's the proper procedure for using this stuff? Doesn't it destroy the aromatic benefits of aftershave?

Help a rookie out!

You can get the flesh colored kind

I don't use it on my face. I'll apply a little to the back of my neck to help keep chaffing at bay... also really helps when I shave the back of my neck. (I wear collared shirts/ties a lot).

Other than that, a bit in the pits to help keep dry and a little down under to keep the boys happy... really helps in the summer.

And it's great for swamp derriere as well.

Just don't make a cloud when you use it. It's not good to breathe. In the old days barbers put it on a brush and applied it after a haircut to the back of your neck.

I've had it used post haircut. I've used it to help keep chafing at bay. And swamp things...
But, if all you're using it for is swamp things there is a product out there called "Anti Monkey Butt Powder" that works quite well.

It's also good to put on your feet before you put your socks and shoes on.

You can buy a talc brush at a beauty supply shop.. put a little talc on the brush to cover your neck and a little on the face to take the "shinny-sheen" on your face... and other areas needing a dusting

I just use an old brush to kind of dust it on. I don't use powder all the time just every now and then.
