Thread: When do you use the Alum block????

When I put this up for a poll, I didn't post how I used the Alum, I figured now I would and the reason why I use it this way....
I finish my shave with a hot water rinse, then use the Alum bar, this gives me instant feedback on how smooth my shave actually was, lots of stinging, too much pressure, etc: etc:
I leave the Alum on my face as I clean up the shave den, then do a cold water splash/rinse, pat dry, and apply the AS of the day....

This leaves nice, tight, smooth, skin after the shave, and as all of us would agree, Tight & Smooth is much nicer.... (Oh that was Soooooooooo bad on Soooooooo many levels)

where do i get the alum block. I cant find it anywhere!!! anyone have a link

You can get them at GNC just ask for crystal deodorant

Isn't Alum Blocks traditionally "Potash Alum" and Crystal Deodorant "Ammonium Alum"?

If you want something more official, with a plastic case, Mama Bear has them on her site, or just google it. I knew I should have stuck with the Crystal Deo back in the day! Should have known it was going to come in handy for something else!

I use something called naturally fresh deodorant crystal. it says natural mineral salts / potassium alum and aloe Vera fragrance free and no harmful aluminums. Works great for me. comes in a roll on container.
