Sorry for the delay jds; you've probably hit the button on something else already. But I have now remembered to move my bag of cornflour to b/r, so will update soon, hopefully tomorrow.

No worries. Still mulling possible alternatives over at the moment. I have some Simple talc at home that is fine and I should really use things up before I buy anew. The Jack Black is in my travel bag and I have seen Nougat talc that may fit the bill, a little more expensive, but not by too much
Nougat Sports Talcum Powder
Grapefruit and cedarwood sounds nice to me.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Well, I have tried out the corn flour. I don't have any sprinkler type container, so I couldn't apply it properly. Nor do I have a big poof thingy which I remember my grandmother had when I was a child.
Also, I haven't used talc since I was a child experimenting with my grandmother's cosmetics, so can't really remember what it's supposed to feel like.
Having said all that, I didn't notice any feeling or over dryness/roughness, it felt silky smooth. However, given my lack of anything to compare it to, why don't you try some yourself Jon? More than likely there's some in your kitchen cupboard; if not you can get a box for about 1.75 - if you like it it'll last quite a while. If you don't like it, at least you have something to thicken your sauces with.

It's also excellent for halting the bleed on small razor cuts...

Reading through this old thread and I'm intrigued re the 'Shaving Puffer'.:huh:
What is this?do you squirt talc on your face or is it what barber's used to use on the back of the neck?
