Brother I tried it with the talc and i love it! Nice cooling effect, and matte finish.
So do you load the powder in the brush every shave?

Yeah my post shave i do things probably backwards from everyone else. I actually alum, then witch hazel , then trumpers skin food, alcohol Aftershave splash, and now i finish with talc;) I don't find alcohol splash to cut the properties of the balm/skin food, as long as i apply it do damp skin and let it absorb, (before the alcohol splash)thats all that matters, you want your skin drink/absorb the balm, you don't want the balm sitting on the surface of the skin, you want the moisture inside the skin layers. After it does absorb,then the alcohol splash seals and braces the outside of the pores/skin making them closed and tight plus the talc further refines and cools the skin. Thanks for the tip, Sir! I will always add this to my shave!!

I thought about trying Yardly. Apparently though if you get the stuff drom Amazon its more or less a knock off (from India) and isn't up to snuff with the UK version . I was reading up and clubman is cornstarch. There used to be a brand called king talc, made by Barbacide, its must be discontinued because it is hard to find.

I just went to Walmart.com and they had plenty of talcum powder types. I just typed in talcum powder and looked at the results on their site....

You'll have to have a new 'Pillars of Creation' made after that Webb got going.

After Thanksgiving i had high hopes of making it into at least Maegashira, with how i'd been fed, but it's far worse - bald men are excluded, because they cannot maintain that topknot of hair. This is a shaving forum - shaving faces and heads is the name of the game?
Typical, bloody typical. So now i'm on the diet again.
