Proraso Post-Shave Stone, Natural Alum Block, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Great alum block perfect for the after shaving wipe and clearing up your skin. Love the size.

This alum Block works well. It can stop the bleeding from small cuts and has a pleasant smell. It lasts for a long time i still have it after 5 months. I find it better to pat it on after shaving than to rub it. If you have small cuts, I also find it better to leave the block on it for a few seconds and then remove it. Also, it dries fast. Make sure it wet it with cold water before applying it.

I use Proraso shaving cream and it is literally the best shaving cream I have ever used. Anyway I want to try the alum stone and its quality. It works as described. I feel little burn, and it was more refreshing than a stinging slash of after shave. I rise my face will cold water after I use the stone, followed by a soothing after shave balm.

Very nice and soothing, although it will hurt a tiny bit initially. Smaller than expected but still gets the job done. I would recommend.

After every shave, i hop out of the shower and before drying my face, I wet the block and run it over my neck and cheeks and then wait until the minor stinging stops to pat my face dry. It stings for maybe a minute but since using it (2 weeks now, 5-6x) it’s brought my neck redness/ ingrown down to near none. 90% effective. Would recommend!

Use this Proraso alum block after EVERY shave, and stop those nicks and weepers right in their tracks. A quality astringent after shaving will help keep your skin healthy, and clear.Changed your razor or blade? Wondering how close and comfortable or baby-butt-smooth of a shave you just got? Rinse off your leftover shaving soap/cream, and glide this alum block over your freshly shaved skin; a uniform and nick/burn free shave will deliver a fresh, cool feeling. Areas that you may have been too aggressive with, or caught a nick, will sting for a moment...but that's OK, the alum is doing its astringent job! Liken this to a styptic pencil, but for larger areas, if you're not familiar.There's other blocks and bars, and even offerings out there. I suggest you choose carefully, because you're applying this directly onto freshly shaved skin; you want QUALITY here, and you have to trust the manufacturer. Those reasons are why I chose the Proraso alum block. It's made in Italy by Proraso: It's got that famous Proraso quality, and I trust that it's alum, not a shady alum substitute, made in a country renowned for questionable business practices and ethics.

Amazing stuff. Just glide it on to any nicks or cuts, and they close right up. Mildly astringent - but that tells you that it's working. And it lasts FOREVER. I've had mine for nearly five years now, and it's not much smaller than it was, when new. Buy this thing.

Size is small but excited to use!!
