444 Alum / Styptic

These two seem to have very similar descriptions whereas my experience of styptic pencils is that they differ significantly (in appearance) from alum. They are more 'pasty' and have a bigger concentration of whatever it is that causes astringency.

I always keep both at hand but only rarely use the pencil if the block isn't effective.
 

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your response. Not sure I explained myself adequately - I was trying to see if anyone knew the difference between the Red (Cutoline) and Blue (Haemostatic) Alum products that 444 manufacture, not the pencil and the block.

Thanks

Jon
