Alum block causing dry skin
Alum is not meant to be left on the face. You get the effects of it by putting it on and letting it sit a few min then wash it off and apply aftershave, balm or moisturizer.

Thanks for the replies, I'll make sure to wash it off after application. Any lurkers, take note not to do as I've done!

Thanked: 1936Its not going to ruin your face if you don't rinse it off...I seldom rinse my face after the block, just blot my face dry most of the time. Pick up some Nevia aftershave balm and you will be good to go either way.

Guys, IMHO you are thinking to hard. I use it every shave. Cold water then rub alum block on the face. let sit for a bit then pat dry with the towel. ASB is the moisturizer. Why we use it.

Thanked: 1This just begs the question...does it make sense to dry your skin out then moisturizer it? Why not just get a good moisturizer and skip the alum?
