how do you talc?

As of now I'm using a sock. Wanting to find a talc bulb puffer. Curious as to how others apply talcum powder.

 

What is talc even for?

 

Howdy! I use a brush for talc. I usually use talc on my neck, underarms, and torso. Some may use it after applying aftershave to the face. Always, Gene

 

haven't you ever watched gymnastics or powerlifting? it's that white powdery stuff they rub all over their hands and wrists to get a better grip.
I always apply some before doing the parallel bars.

Oh, and diaper rash. It's used on baby's bottoms.

it's that bag, outside the dugout. you use it to coat your hands, before going up to bat

 

John you beat me to the punch line

 

I had a couple of talc bulb puffers bought online from a German seller on ebay, Joachim , store named Actifshaves. He ships stateside , no problem. Currently I, like Gene, use a talc brush and it works great for me got mine from Appleton's Barber Supply.

 

A man walks into a Department Store.

Man to Clerk: "Could you direct me to the talcum powder?"
Clerk: "Certainly Sir! Just walk this way."
Man: "If I could walk that way I wouldn't need any talcum powder."

 

This has me interested in picking up some talc and a talc brush.

 

I talc with my mouf, that's how.

It used to be widely used before antiperspirant had been invented. It was also used on babies to prevent diaper rash. Old time talc containers were made that had a cloth pad used for applying the powder. When not in use, the pad sat in the container on top of the talc. I'm surprised to hear that it is still in use.

The powder used in powerlifting and gymnastics is chalk, not talc. Talc is slippery, but chalk provides a good grip on the bar.

 

I was always intrigued by the talc puffer.

 

I wish I could use talc, but it chokes me terribly.

 

I had a roommate in college who used talc regularly. Problem is, since we shared bathrooms, this is what greeted me most mornings…

 

That is what my apartment looked like after a party.
