I have been using Alum after my shaves from when I started shaving over 50 years ago. Dad was a trained barber from the old country and this is one of the things that he taught me. I let it dry on my shaved skin while I am cleaning up my equipment, then rinse it off before I apply any post shave product. Works great, keeps my skin clear and clean. Wouldn't do without. Great informative video.
Thank you so much for sharing and I'm glad that you enjoyed the video! I wish I knew way earlier about the alum. It's also one of my favorite post shaves steps. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing. I love learning about the different results that others get. This will help people understand that it's ok and normal to try something and not like it. ☺
Nice one Lyubo! I use it for grip with skin stretching, can’t tolerate it as a post shave though as for me it increases redness and irritation. Have a great day brother!
Thank you brother! Really great point, I'm not doing skin stretching and completely forgot to mention this as well as the good grip that it can provide for slippery razors. Bummer that it doesn't work for you. I get the same from the White Proraso soap, big red patches and irritation after using it. Enjoy a fantastic day and week ahead brother!
@@ShaveAndTell you’re most welcome! It seems like it’s a pretty even ratio… 50% of shavers can use it for a post shave with great results, and the other 50% have terrible results.
Hi Lyubo I use only when I have cut's and then only for a minute and then wash up with clear water. Tobin Fetters had made a Video way the natural stone much more better is. Have a great day and week 😊
Thank you Robert! Thanks for mentioning about that video, it got my interest and I'll search for it. I love Tobin's channel, seems that I missed on this one.

@@JMac. indeed! It's quite interesting that it seems to be 50/50 split.
@@ShaveAndTell right? Definitely a crazy stat.
nice chat. I use alum predominantly as antiperspirant but us it on my skin after shave from time to time. best wishes Mr Straight Razor
Thank you! I have to get one for this as well :)
