Customer Reviews of Bloc Osma Natural Alum Block
Customer Review: So so performance
Summary: 3 Stars
I recently started shaving with a Safety Razor a few months back and have read quite a few recommendation on using an Alum Block to help with nicks and cuts.
For me this product seems to only help with the most minor of nicks and doesn't do much for cuts at all. Running it under cold water and then rubbing on the face stings a bit like using an aftershave but it feels good and helps lessen the burn when I later apply aftershave.
I do like this product better than a Styptic Stick as it doesn't leave a white residue behind and the size helps provides an overall face cooling.
Be aware that this item is fragile. The description claims it is a "stone" but it is actually a crystal. It fell out of my medicine cabinet and broke into about 6 pieces. It is still usable but now has some sharp edges.
Description of Bloc Osma Natural Alum Block
The alum block, an old staple in traditional barbershops, is an all-natural astringent that instantly closes razor nicks. Made from potassium alum, this block soothes and cools delightfully when rubbed over the entire face after a shave. Instead of taking shortcuts by depending on cheaper minerals and product from Asia, Osma Laboratories has decided to reduce their carbon footprint by only using the very best products found in France.Personal Groomers
