Essential for traditional wet shavers. And everyone else. - This alum block works very well, is easy to use and comes in a handy storage box that makes traveling with it a breeze. I returned to traditional wet shaving (safety razor, brush, shaving soap) a number of years ago. Using the traditional double-edge blades and metal razors requires some practice and experience before one can do this completely nock or irritation-free. Finishing a shave nick-free is not difficult, but having an alum block like this is essential to nipping your weepers when they happen. Unlike styptic pencils, the alum block is basically just that; a small block cut from a large piece of alum. You'll note that the "cut" edge, where it's removed from the big block, will have a rough edge, but the other edges are smoother. These are the ones you should stroke on your skin for the most comfort. I rarely get nicks, but when I do, I rinse my face with cold water (well, as cold as we can get tap water here in Florida). I'll wet the alum block with warm water and run the smooth edge over the nicked area first, then over the rest of my face and neck to relieve any irritation. I should mention here that the alum block is also excellent for relieving common razor irritation in addition to nicks and weepers. As the instructions state, you should always rinse the alum off your face with water after about three minutes. You don't want to leave the residue on your skin. For me, the block usually stops my nicks from bleeding immediately. Whether or not this works for you the same way will depend on your skin and how easily you bleed. This is a great item for grooming, and I recommend one to any man who shaves. Review: Works wonders and lasts a long time - This alum block surprised me in both longevity and efficacy. I use this as an aftershave- I will shave, wash and rinse with soap, then wet the block and apply to my face and neck. It does an amazing job at tightening the skin, closing up nicks, and cleansing. It does burn when you go over a small scrape or a sensitive pore, but the burn is very temporary and the benefits really do outweigh this pain. The block has lasted me a year and a half at this point and has barely worn down at all! I did drop it once and the corner broke off in crumbles, but these smoothed over after a few uses and the block is still completely useable. ## Features - 🌿𝟏𝟎𝟎% 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐋 & 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄-𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄:: Our Alum Block is crafted from pure potassium alum, derived naturally from mineral sources, offering a chemical-free post-shave care solution.

Is there dye in it?** A: Only the box(container) is green. Alum is white as usual. **Q: Where is this made?** A: While it can occur naturally, most modern alum is made in a lab by adding potassium sulfate to a concentrated solution of aluminum sulfate. The aluminum sulfate likely came from processing bauxite. Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great. Essential for traditional wet shavers.

However I gave it for stars because my block came with a crack in the corner which after one use broke off. Still works so it is not worth the trouble to return. Packing could be better to avoid this issue. It is in a box that was placed in Amazon plastic envelope, but nothing to cushion it during shipping which could get rough and obviously did. ## Frequently Bought Together - Natural Alum Block Aftershave Care - 3.5 oz (100g) Skin Soother & Instant Calm from Razor | Styptic for Nicks & Irritation - Suitable for All Skin Types | Includes Compact Travel Storage Case - 1 Pack - Astra Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades,100 Blades (20 x 5) - Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl, 5.3-Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/111018481-natural-alum-block-aftershave-care-3-5-oz-100g-skin](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/111018481-natural-alum-block-aftershave-care-3-5-oz-100g-skin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
