If you experience frequent nicks and cuts, an alum block and styptic pencil are two weapons you should have at the ready.
An alum block is a natural, unscented aftershave treatment. Made from mildly astringent and antiseptic minerals, it encourages healing and reduces redness. Alums come like a block of soap, and all it takes is a few swipes of your hand with water to rub it in. They last a long time, making alum blocks an excellent, low-cost option for men with all skin types.
A styptic pencil takes care of deeper cuts and more serious shaving misadventures. A highly concentrated, medicated stick, it heals stubborn lacerations quickly. But they're not for everyday use. Styptic pencils are more of a tool you keep in your drawer to get you through the messiest of shaving dilemmas.
Our alums and styptic pencils come from the most trusted names in shaving, with years of proven results. They make each from the finest natural ingredients and undergo stringent quality controls.
The result? This collection of the best post-shave safeguards on the planet.

I just got the B&M Dune-themed 'Melange' shaving soap in the mail last night (P.S. HUGE shoutout to GrownManShave.com for being super responsive and accommodating through a shipping issue due to an error of address on my part. Thank you, Laura!). I was soo excited to get to shave with this soap today as I'm a big Dune fan (the only book I've ever read twice). I was a bit hesitant as I heard it is a very "spice-heavy" soap (for obvious reasons...the spice must flow!), and that's not usually my cup of tea, but man was I wrong! The smell is amazing, definitely stronger than my other B&M soaps, the spice sent filled the bathroom, and I liked it so much that I decided after the shave to neglect my usual B&M Seville aftershave balm because I didn't want to lose that spice sent. It's been about an hour since my shave and I can still smell it on my face - it's terrific! I think I'm going to need to pull the trigger on the Melange balm as well.
If you're a Dune fan or just want to know what it would feel like to shave in the warm desert breeze on the sands of Arakis....then this soap is for you!
