Hiya
If you've seen my posts on here you'll notice I am new to DE shaving.
When I purchased my initial kit I bought an alum block. I have not seen/read a lot on here about them, but have just watched a Geofatboy vid on youtube and he rubs it like hell all over his face after shaving!
I've tried applying the alum to a couple of small nicks and it stung, but didn't stop the bleed so obviously I need a styptic pencil for that.
Question - what is the alum block for? Does anyone regularly use one? What are the benefits?
Many thanks
Anderson
