Stuff that barbers use

Scuzi · 9 Oct 2006 at 15:45

I'm just back from getting a haircut and a shave at the barbers. I mean to ask him every time I go but I always forget. When he's done, he 'blows' some sort of white powder out of a rubber squeezy container all over my face and neck. I've always wondered what it is and what it does. Can anyone enlighten me?

Also, can anyone recommend a supplier or a brand of cutthroat razors and associated supplies?

It's talc he puts on your neck. I've no idea why though.

Maybe to make the hair not stick to you?

You used to have barber shaves as a kid :eek:

Jonny69 · 9 Oct 2006 at 17:55

I was about to say it was when they shaved my neck but I don't think that would make things any better eh?
