The Stray Whisker Alum Block

The Alum Block by The Stray Whisker is a crystal-like stone that is moistened with cold water and then gently rubbed over the shaved area. It acts as an antiseptic and to combat razor burn. It can also help to stop bleeding from small nicks and cuts. The Alum block also has antiseptic properties that not only cool and refresh the skin after shaving, but kill surface bacteria too.

It is used for nicks and cuts and fresh razor cuts and burns. The Alum Block by The Stray Whisker helps to stop bleeding by constricting the blood vessels and contracting tiny open pores. Alum not only acts as an antiseptic agent to sterilise the skin it can also act as a balm. Alum is both antiseptic and astringent.

How To Use

Wet the block, rub gently onto the shaved area, and then leave to dry on the face.

If you are applying a moisturiser or after shave balm, splash water on the face after you have applied the alum block, pat dry with a towel and then apply your after shave balm or moisturiser..

Storing the Alum Block
After use, clean the alum block with water, dry it off and store in a dry place where air circulates. If you allow the block to remain moist or exposed to moisture it will simply dissolve.
