Author: Andy Finn I got one of these in with my razor purchase as i figured there would be a fair few accidents going on with nicks and was the first time using one. It gives you a short sharp sting when it goes over the areas that have been nicked and even areas where u didnt think it was. Just wet the end of it in cold water and run over where you shaved and it really does close those pores quick. It seems to stop any redness soon after a shave aswell. Its guaranteed to wake you up after a shave and keep yr nicks clean i found. Give it a quick wipe in a towel and leave to air dry. Small block but its going to last ages.
Author: Alan Stead Bought one of these in place of a styptic pencil. At first, I just used it for nicks etc. However, over time I've come to realise that the antiseptic/cooling qualities far outweigh such limited use. These things are wonderful, such an addition to the act. One thing that isn't mentioned in the product description is that the block is composed of Potassium Alum, not Ammonia Alum, ie it's far less agressive. I find that a cold water wash/rince, wet the block, gently rub block over entire shaved area, allow to dry, dab (not rub) with cold rinsed flannel, pays dividends. Always use before after shave of any kind. So much more than the salts on a stick of the Styptic. Looks like it may well last forever too. Well worth it.
Author: Rob Delahunty These are amazing, true it stings a bit when you apply it to a cut. But the result on a cut is like turning off a tap. Deffinately worth having in your kit for those off days!
Author: Martyn Jones Haven't switched to DE razor yet but use this in combination with mach3, brush and cream after a two year shaving sabbatical of a full beard. Works really well to stop any nicks bleeding or redness I used to get from hair growing in odd directions. My wife has kindly translated the instructions from the box as they are in French and she is French " Wet the Alum block and wipe slowly over the face after a wet shave or a little time before an electric shave". Hope this helps.
