… and what would you recommend?

I use Gold Bond on my nuts and those crevices at my groin, because I tend to sweat there.

I really don’t sweat on my face unless I’m on the bike or walk/jogging, but I wouldn’t use it then anyway. I’m talking about washing, then shaving, then the aftershave, then the powder just to take some of the shine off and because I have oily skin, especially on my nose.

Back in the 60’s/70’s, some of the more popular fragrances also made talc, but I don’t see them on the shelves anymore. Just the Pinaud.

Thanks
