What This Block Does

Alum has been part of the traditional wet shave for a very long time. The block is wetted and passed over the skin after shaving, left for a short moment, then rinsed off.

Many wet shavers notice a brief tingle in places where the shave was closest. Results and feel vary from person to person.
