I use alum for one purpose only: to test a newly honed razor and my technique. If all's well, you either feel nothing or a faint tingling that's not unpleasant.

I assume you don't use aftershave then ? Now that I don't like to use. Tends to burn my face off ...

Well, I had been having a couple of issues in the aftershave department, but strangely a seemingly failed gift changed that!

My girlfriend bought me some shaving cream for christmas, but she doesn't know a lot about wetshaving. She just gave me a tub of cream from "Rituals", not knowing it was a brushless cream... At first I thought it would be money down the drain, but it's a 2-in-1 shave cream/aftershave. Now I just use it as an aftershave, aangelengd(sorry, couldn't think of the English word) with water. It forms a real protective barrier of quite neutral(it does contain ginger, but it doesn't sting at all!) moisturizing cream. Actually a very nice surprize
