What This Block Does
Alum is the traditional full stop at the end of a shave: rubbed over wet skin it gives instant feedback on your technique, tightens the shaved surface, and is the traditional finish after the blade.
Parker states the block is made from the highest and purest natural potash alum and that it will last for years. Parker also notes alum’s history: in use for over 4000 years. Those are Parker’s claims for its own product.
Who This Is Best For
The traditional answer to small shaving cuts, per Parker’s own description.
Alum stings briefly where the blade pressed too hard: honest feedback, every shave.
One ingredient: potash alum. Nothing else in the block.
How To Use It
Parker’s directions: wet the bar in cold water and rub it against your skin. Wait 30 seconds or so, then rinse. Dry the block before it goes back in its case.
The included travel case makes it the rare aftershave that flies with no liquid limits at all.
Care and Storage
Dry the block after use and store it in its case. Kept dry between uses, Parker states it lasts for years.
