Thoroughly enjoyable shave. Being someone who just used bar soap and a cartridge razor for more than a year, I'm amazed to say that, now, I've decided I'm a talc person. I'm enjoying it enough that, in addition to the smallest size Pinaud Clubman talc, I've ordered the smallest size Yardley talc in two different scents. I'm pretty sure I've got a screw loose.

Does Noble Otter still sell powder?

Edit: It looks like they've been discontinued. Bummer!

I'm guessing they rebranded from someone but don't know. The companies that make this stuff seem to have sold it forever.

They were scented with NO scents.

Oh, that makes sense. I suspect there's little demand for talc by wetshavers.

I know of at least one person!
