    Unfortunately that is the only one I have see too. But often times certain 'stone' deodorants are alum and can be used in shaving also. I don't use one though.

    There is ONE company that makes one, but it's tiny (25 gr?) and costs 900 yen...so it's pretty much the same.

    Alum is VERY water soluble. Dry it and store it someplace away from water...I didn't and mine got all spiny and scratchy.

    BTW, I use one as deo and I just crushed it, put it in a spray bottle and filled it with water. Now I have super-saturated alum water on demand...goes a little faster, but super convenient.

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I shouldn't leave it wet - got it.

    Jim, why not just use a normal deodorant? Is there a reason for using alum?

    Cheers,

    Robert
    I love the smell of shaving cream in the morning!

    It's a natural antiperspirant, it doesn't stain clothes, it's cheap, it lasts forever, etc. etc. etc.
