– Natural Alum Block in Plastic Case (100 g./3.5 oz.) Aftershave Blood Stopper Antiseptic Astringent Soothing Solution for Shaving Razor Burn Relief

If you are new to safety razor shaving or just tired of using tiny toilet paper squares for nicks, this block is a substantial upgrade from standard styptic pencils. I was surprised by the sheer size of the 100g block; it is the size of a bar of soap and, given how little dissolves per use, I expect this to last me well over a year. The alum works exactly as intended, providing immediate feedback—meaning it stings briefly—on areas where I applied too much pressure, while instantly sealing up small weeping cuts and tightening the skin. The real selling point for me, however, is the included plastic case. Since alum is highly water-soluble, it will slowly dissolve into a mess if you leave it sitting directly on a wet countertop, so having a dedicated container to store it in is essential for keeping it clean and intact. My only word of caution is that natural alum is brittle like ceramic, so if you drop this on a tiled bathroom floor it will shatter, but as long as you keep a good grip, it is a fantastic finish to a shave.

Very good & comes in a box. Does the job & a good size

This is a great product stops any bleeding quickly, reduces the size of pores, it comes with a case to keep the product clean. The block appears to last a long time I’ve only had it two weeks and the size has not reduced too much. The product was delivered next day. This would have had 5 stars but the product does sting. You could say that’s my fault for cutting myself but I am using a cut throat razor.

Nice quality product which does what it says on the tin. I use this block every time I shave and find it leaves the skin less irritated in a matter of seconds. The way I use this is make the stone wet as well as my face (lukewarm water on my face and cold water on the stone), rub stone gently enough around the whole area I shaved, leave for a min and wash of with ice cold water. Maybe the 2nd best part of the shave besides putting on some good balm. 10/10

I have used an Alum block before so I know what to expect. Good product! The problem was the packaging was broken. Not good as I use it while travelling. The seller was kind they sent a need product to me which was good of them. This product is a hidden gem. A good healing product for hair and skin. The seller was very happyful and thanks once again.

Excellent product always use after Wet Shave.

My brother recommended alum to me as we both get cuts in our mouth from annoying wisdom teeth. It’s really helpful, I slosh it in a little bit of water as a mouthwash or I dampen a fragrance free baby wipe wrapped around the tip of my finger and rub it on the alum to directly press it on sore parts of my gum. It’s also a good natural antiperspirant and can be bought in the right shape for that on amazon too. Also if your gums bleed after flossing this will help. It’s a lovely bit of kit.

I may have been living under a rock and my life because I've never heard of an alum block before; I only got this because a friend recommend it to me and I'm so glad he did. The only downside is it does "sting" a little when using on a freshly shaven area but it's manageable.

Loved this product. Really works with cuts and tiny wounds.

I'm very happy with the customer service from the seller. The product is good and they're dedicated to improving it further.

Buen producto.

I have been using this as deodorant for several weeks and it works very well with no irritation (and both baking soda and alcohol cause irritation for me). I wet the end slightly and really go at it for several seconds to each underarm covering the whole area. It def gets me 24 hours odor free. Let dry out after (don't close it in the box). Sometimes I'll double up with another deodorant after but that might be unnecessary.

Good for your Face... After shaving, rinse your face and wet the Alum block and lightly rub shaved areas with block. If you feel a bit of a sting that's the block treating a nick or burn from your shave. Wait 30-40 seconds after applying Alum block and rinse your your face. It is important to remove Alum block coating from your skin. I find it's a good astringent and your shave (and face) feels better.
