Good stuff and yes.I normally use Sanex day to day as I have a sweaty manual job. Intrigued by these natural deodorants, has anyone used any? What is the verdict? Am I just as well rubbing my alum block under my armpits and on my feet?
It works the other way round... I use a twist up deodorant stick as an alum block. I got a couple for very little money in a stock clearance thingy. Also, when the deodorant stick finally (after months and months) goes down to the very last bit, you can cut away the plastic holder and you're left with a sizeable chunk of alum.I've been using one for years, it's great stuff and lasts forever. Be aware that it's a deodorant not an anti-perspirant, you still sweat you just don't pong. It stops your shirt pits from going hard too.
Mine is just a stick of alum in a twist-up container, so if you have an alum block already you're as well to just use that.
Disclaimer: This is from the top of my head, so it might be the wrong way round.I have used mine after shaving once or twice, but I don't see the appeal. It's a great deodorant though.

There are deodorant sticks made from ammonium alum and from potassium alum. I think it is potassium alum that alum blocks are made of and ammonium alum stings a lot more and is not great for shaving purposes. The truth may vary..
Thoroughly recommended as a deodorant and really does last for ever.

Osma is potassium alum.Which one is Osma ? I've got a potassium alum stick and an osma block - more than enough alum to last my lifetime....
