  A dusty sink?

  Technically, talc absorbs moisture. I think barbers use it more as a “finish”. After a very close shave, the skin can be shiny. A thin invisible layer of talc adds a velvety feel to BBS and removes the shine. [ A while back, Amazon decided I should buy some, so I did :) ] I use a tiny travel brush to apply the talc.

    Welp, I guess that’s one more thing for the to-try list 🙂

      There’s some ridicule that may accompany talc. When used properly, others can’t see it, however, my wife pointed out that it is akin to baby powder. She is amused that, having dealt with all the diaper changing of twin babies [yes, I have changed a lot of diapers], I’m willing to use “baby powder” again.

        I’m also the designated diaper changer of the family, but baby powder isn’t a thing (anymore?) here. Not sure whether it’s more cultural or a result of the asbestos-in-baby-powder scandals, but pediatricians warn against it.
