Captain Fawcett's Alum Bar

When applied to a damp nick or cut, the alum acts as an astringent. It causes the blood vessels at the site of the injury to constrict, which stops minor bleeding almost instantly.

No, the formula is completely scentless. It disinfects and seals the skin without leaving any lingering fragrance, so it won't clash with your favorite grooming products.

It is best practice to rinse the bar under cold water after each use to remove any residue. Allow it to air dry completely before storing it, as leaving it wet can cause the bar to dissolve prematurely.

Yes, it is a natural mineral-based product that is generally gentle on the skin. However, because it is an astringent, you may feel a slight tingling sensation upon application, which is a normal reaction.

Because you only need a small amount for each application, a 90g bar is highly economical and can last for many months, or even over a year, depending on the frequency of your shaves.
