Excellent product!

This alum block works wonders and is far and above the traditional styptic pencil.

Bloc Osma"s great

I purchased this item to treat the occasional knicks and small cuts that I experience in my workshop. Since receiving this item I have yet to knick or cut myself so I guess it works pretty well.

Great Alum

Hubby loved it, will buy it again for sure. It made such a difference on his skin and was much nicer than all those after shaves full of fragrance. Thank you for the quick shipping!

Tips on How to Use the Osma Alum Block

Incorporate the Osma Alum Block into your shaving routine to reduce razor burn and skin irritation effectively. Here are some steps to maximize its benefits:

  1. Rinse Your Face: After shaving, rinse your face with cold water to remove any remaining shaving cream and close your pores.
  2. Wet the Alum Block: Run the alum block under cold water for a few seconds. This will help it glide smoothly over your skin.
  3. Apply to Shaved Areas: Gently rub the wet alum block over the areas you’ve shaved. Pay special attention to any nicks, cuts, or areas prone to razor burn.
  4. Leave it On: Allow the alum to sit on your skin for a minute or two. You may feel a slight tingling sensation, which is normal and indicates the antiseptic properties are working.
  5. Rinse Off: After a few minutes, rinse your face with cold water to remove any residue.
  6. Dry and Store: Pat the alum block dry with a towel and store it in a dry place to ensure its longevity.

Using the Osma Alum Block as part of your post-shave routine can help reduce skin irritation, soothe razor burns, and leave your skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Make it an essential part of your shaving kit for a more comfortable and enjoyable shaving experience.
