First Fougère Friday of 2024, yay. Also, I was intrigued by @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 's pro-talc propaganda campaign and today was my first use of talc as a post shave (I took the SOTD pics until Sunday the day before yesterday, so it won’t appear until Monday, at the earliest). I was warned that Pinaud’s Finest Powder (even better in French: poudre ultra-fine) is a powder bomb, and I dutifully created a dense powder fog in my bathroom when I applied it with a fine synthetic brush. Some fine-tuning is in order. I didn’t feel too much of an effect, so I suspect that I did a better job powdering the atmosphere than my face. Live and learn.

Yes, I’m feeling this too. My trusted health counselor (yes, a LLM) tells me the following:

The Club Pinaud and Yardley products I’ve been using are corn starch based. I suspect all talc products sold today are. Man, I miss that asbestos of yesteryear ;)

It seems obvious that asbestos should be good against razor or even frag burn 😂
