Alum Block Natural Stone

I thought I had bought an Italian Alum block, Only to find it has made in china. Just wet it and gently rub on shaved area. Stings for a millisecond but it is a decent product.

Ok, so this is an alum block. If you are familiar with alum, then you know what to expect. The best thing about this is its price. It is a bit cheaper than most, especially as I caught it on sale. As usual, Shaving.ie provides top-quality products cheaper than most. Even with shipping to Asia, the prices compare well to other retailers and ship promptly. The block is a decent size and should last a very long time if you dry it after use and don't drop it. I like how alum tightens, soothes my skin, indicates where I irritated my skin and clots any weepers. Leaves my skin ready for my post-shave balm. Good product.

A simple product that simply works. I suppose Block Alum is Block Alum. This one is a little cheaper then others but does the job perfectly. I am well pleased and would certainly buy it again.

I only recently started using DE razors and alum blocks. This is a simple but significant addition to a shave. I've used it after every shave and it's done a lot for my skin compared to not using one. It's a strange sensation, in spots where you get too close it stings and gets quite hot but one the rest of your face it just feels smooth and cool. I'm not going to shave without one!

Good product, can salvage a bad shave...

This is an essential component in my shaving kit. Great value for a good product. Long lasting. A must have.

Also feels great after a shave, I use it even when I have no nicks.

A basic necessity for any shaving kit. The price is unbeatable, as you can get a lot of use out of the stone, and it works as both a toner and a bleed-stopper. Much better than cut-sealing gels etc. that leave a visible, rigid residue. I have not tried 'burn healing' products as I have no need for them - aftershave is enough. After a quick wet rub my skin feels smooth and any bleeding will stop. The sensation is a tingling or stinging that may linger. Overall it's comfortable, just apply aftershave or moisturiser. The stone is heavy but easy to hold, fits snugly between thumb and index+middle finger.
