Alum Stone 100gr

Alum is a crystalline aluminium salt used after shaving primarily for its astringent action. Applied to the skin, it helps stop minor bleeding from shaving nicks and may inhibit bacterial growth.

Proraso Alum Block is a solid, fragrance-free piece of potassium alum that brings a precise, traditional finish to wet shaving. When moistened and passed over freshly shaved skin, the mineral’s astringent action creates a clean, toned sensation and can help control minor shaving nicks. Unlike a scented lotion or moisturising balm, it leaves no fragrance, oil or creamy layer behind. The generous 100gr block is durable and economical, provided it is rinsed and allowed to dry thoroughly between uses. Choose it as a simple post-shave diagnostic tool too: areas that sting more noticeably often reveal where excess pressure or repeated razor passes have irritated the skin.

Who is it for: For traditional wet shavers who want a fragrance-free mineral finish and a practical way to address very small shaving nicks.

Who is it not for: Not for deep cuts, significant skin damage or known sensitivity to alum. Very dry or reactive skin may prefer to use it only on individual nicks rather than over the whole shaved area.

What does it do: Provides an immediate astringent sensation, helps the skin feel toned and can help control superficial bleeding from minor shaving nicks.

How to use: After shaving, rinse the skin with cool water. Wet the alum block and glide it lightly over the shaved area or apply only to individual nicks. Leave briefly, then rinse the skin if preferred. Rinse the block and allow it to air-dry completely before storage.
