Keep your shattered pieces - dissolve and use like witch hazel.

hang a cotton thread over the centre of the jam jar with the solution.....

Agree with the dissolving them but to get proper big crystals you need to keep the temperature and humidity high for a relatively long period of time and gradually lower it over many months or years! That way the crystals will grow slowly as oppose to forming lots of tiny brittle ones ...Impractical but i'm sure someone with a lot of money and too much time could give it a go,
Have a look at this baby! She's a beauty of a crystal!

Damn right. All men need to know about this. One small part of my life has been near perfect since I bought an alum block fashioned like a deodorant roll-on. I haven't tested it in summer yet though.
For shaving I use an Osma block. Not cheap, but it's a good size for holding against the face, it comes in a nice waxy box that keeps well in the bathroom, and I don't begrudge the price given it will last a long time and perform a valuable service nearly every day.

Spot on. Just wet it and rub under your pits. Then you have a deodorant that is odourless and therefore doesn't overpower the scent of any aftershave/cologne/edt you are wearing.
