    Default Huge Alum block

    I found a vendor for alum blocks 4"x2 3/4"x3/4".

    Very inexpensive cheap even.

    So as not offend sensibilities if you PM me I will share the site. Or you could just google for it.

    As far as I know the cheapest place is Tolumba. The blocks are standard size but you can buy them in volume for very little each. My last order was 5 years ago and I still have several blocks.

    Well my order came today. These things are bigger than a bar of soap. I am guessing about a pound each. 5 ordered 2 arrived in large pieces. One is going to be enough to destink three or four generations feet pits and maybe pickle some vegetables as well.

    Photo to follow when I get the daylight back. I rubbed down with the alum after a shower today......man this stuff really works. I would think hunters would love it. No stink, no smell of any kind, and not sticky itchy or any other objectionable unintended consequence.

    Too much - the link you gave doesn't have a photo either lol!! : )

    Yeah the stuff is great - I only use it before every shave to get a grip... and after to close things up and it's a great way to gage if you used too much pressure shaving.
