Yeah...to be honest, I wish it wasn't necessary. It stings, and I'd much rather just apply a nice soothing aftershave balm and moisturizer right after my post-shave rinse, but the alum has worked wonders on heading off any razor burn.

It's an excellent tool for anyone like me who is susceptible to razor burn.

It's my sensitive, ruddy Irish skin.
