Thread: Tips from Barber on Sensitive Skin

Ive been using the preshave oil and find a nice improvement in the overall comfortableness of the shave

I also use an Alum block which seems to do a great job (boy can I feel it on my neck)
Is the bad aluminum in under-arm deodorant the same aluminum in ALUM? Am i letting aluminum enter my system? If so, i may remove this from my routine

Aluminum chlorohydrate in deodorant, potassium or ammonium (more painful) alum in alum block.

Alum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - for reference to alum blocks.

Deodorant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - for reference to deodorant

Same alum that goes on your face can go into food so it's more than safe
