Fair enough man. Keep me posted on how you go without the Alum. I'm going to keep trying for now but if it doesn't help after a month or so of shaving on a proper straight (rather thatn a shavette) then i will look at other options.
ABSOLUTELY BROTHER!!! AMEN TO THAT!
So getting into alum stuff again, does anyone know of maybe an alum substitute? Does anyone do something different other than the norm? maybe something quirky like, i dunno, egg whites hahahahahaha! Or has alum always been the original and the "best" or best known after shave thingy (sorry i cant think right now... at work on a sunday without coffee)....
best regards everyone,
