It's basically a type of salt.
Apply to a wet face. Just wipe the block of alum all over. Allow to dry and then wipe off with a damp cloth. Although some might say to just leave it on.
It is an astringent (closes pores) and antispetic (kills bacteria)
Tastes like crap so be careful not to get it on your lips.
We have a nice article about it: Alum - Straight Razor Place Wiki.
If you get it make sure you get the Potassium Alum and not the Ammonium Alum. The ammonium type is what they use in deodorant and can burn like the dickens.
You're simply too weak. Like real men don't eat honey but chew bees.
Battery acid? How bizarre. Rationale being you want an 8 in the "burn" section of the reviews, right next to Nivea baby balm?
Anyhow, sure, we can trade. I'll send you some east German military issue metal polish. Try using that without a respirator mask, safety goggles, and latex gloves...
