Product Overview

The barber’s crystal in stick form: Omega’s alum stick is potassium alum, the traditional mineral finish rubbed over wet skin after a shave, and the same crystal long used as a simple deodorant.

Alum is a single-ingredient astringent: it tightens the shaved surface, attends to the tiny nicks a blade leaves, and used underarm it works against odor without perfumes or sprays. One stick lasts months of daily use because it dissolves extremely slowly.

Product Specifications

What This Stick Does

Alum is chemistry old enough to be tradition: an astringent mineral that tightens skin on contact, which is why barbers finish shaves with it and why the same crystal serves as the original deodorant.

The claims kept here are the material’s honest ones: potassium alum is astringent, tightening freshly shaved skin, helping with minor nicks, and working against underarm odor without fragrance. Note for accuracy: potassium alum IS an aluminum salt; what it is not is the aluminum chlorohydrate used in antiperspirants. It deodorizes without blocking sweat.

Who This Is Best For

How To Use It

Post-shave: wet the stick in cold water, glide it over the shaved skin, wait half a minute, rinse and dry the stick. As deodorant: same glide on clean, damp underarms.

It is a solid, so it flies with no liquid limits at all.

Care and Storage

Dry the stick after each use and keep it out of standing water; a dry alum stick lasts months, a wet one dissolves.
