Superb item!
This item is great for healing shaving nicks or cuts and stops bleeding immediately. It also smoothes and dries the skin after shaving.

What a find!
I had never seen Alum before, but my girlfriend got me one to try, I have to say it's fantastic. The block lasts ages and you just rub it around where you have shaved while your face is still wet and its stops any annoying little cuts from bleeding and red shaving rash. You probably all stuck tissue on you face and waited after a cut before, but at this price you can't go wrong, as it will probably going to last me over a year!

Well worth buying
I wasn't sure about this but I thought I would try it (glad I did). Just wet it with cold water then rub on face after shaving and you can really feel it If you cut yourself during shaving. Wet it with warm water rub on the cut it stops the bleeding.

Works perfectly
Usually if I cut myself shaving, I spend ages trying to stop the bleeding. Not with this - works a treat!

What a revelation
First time using a merkur, caused a slight nick going over an existing bump. This bad boy stopped it straight away.

Closes pores aswell...
...but... if you have sensitive skin like mine, you're probably in need of a moisturiser as well. It does give a lovely smooth feeling after a shave with Trumper's Cream.

Does the job
Works well but I still use a moisturiser too.

Not quite as effective as suggested
Stops bleeding but not as quickly as suggested - may have thinner blood ! The box makes a good rest for my razor
