I've never used talc after a shave. I'm curious: when do you tend to use it, and what does it do for you exactly?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I use it when I have a little extra time and want to enjoy the extra finish that talc gives. Talc dries moisture but its effect is to leave a silky smooth feeling on the skin. This is especially nice if you have used an aftershave that leaves the skin shiny and a sticky.
