Huge +1 on the alum. To me, it is an absolute *must have* shaving item.
Using alum after every shave, I was able to "toughen up" my face much quicker (making daily ATG passes possible without extreme irritation and bleeding). I get far fewer zits, shaving bumps, and redness when I use alum daily. I use it a bit differently than most guys, though; after cold water rinsing the remaining cream off of my face, I wet my alum block, run it over my entire face, then allow my face to air dry. If you do too many passes of the block, you'll be left with white powder on your face, but get it right, and there's just enough residual alum left on your face to absorb facial oils, and it also seems like it does a better job of soothing shaving irritation when left to air dry.
