    Besides the benefits listed above, Alum blocks give a good idea of when you are using to much pressure. After a few passes of to much pressure, you can really scrape your skin up. Alum will give you a slight "burn" when rubbed over a raw area. Also good for feedback if your razor is sharp, but not so smooth (I have this issue off of my 8K shaves, still working on a lighter touch on the hone and better stropping.
