This medicated Alum Bar works as a hemostat – it fixes shaving nicks quick, without the burn of styptic pencils. If you cut yourself shaving, a quick dab on the area will immediately stop bleeding without pain. Also contains potassium, a natural cleansing antiseptic. Dampen the bar with cold water and rub it on your face after shaving to cleanse your skin, close the pores and leave your face feeling soft and smooth. If you use an electric shaver, apply the bar beforehand, and you'll get a closer shave with less friction. Used daily, it protects skin when you work in raw or windy weather. One bar lasts practically forever, is good for all skin types, and – perhaps best of all – it's scent-free. (No running around smelling like a pomegranate.) Made by Edwin Jagger, arguably the toniest men's grooming products firm in England.
