Purchase options and add-ons

  • Osma Alum Blok is a versatile care product that has been used in the hairdressing industry for many years. This product, carefully designed to fine details, offers you the shave and skin care experience you want.
  • One of the most important properties of Osma Alum Blok is its ability to calm and heal the skin after shaving. When applied to freshly shaved skin, it tightens pores, reduces redness and soothes potential irritation for immediate relief. This property is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive or easily irritated skin.
  • In addition, Osma Alum Blok has a styptic effect, that is, it can effectively stop bleeding from minor cuts and scrapes that may occur during shaving. It is sufficient to moisten the block with water and apply it to the slightly bleeding area. Alum helps the wound to close quickly by allowing the blood to clot.
  • Osma Alum Blok is extremely easy to use. After shaving, rinse off any remaining shaving cream or soap residue by rinsing your face with cold water. Then wet the alum block and rub it gently on the shaved areas, allowing the natural effects to work. After a few minutes, rinse the alum with water and pat your skin dry.
  • If you're familiar with classic shaving or just starting out with traditional grooming rituals, the Osma Alum Blok is an essential addition to your routine. Its natural and tried formulation provides a superior shaving experience while providing healthier and smoother skin.
  • Deep Cleaning: Skin alum removes dirt, oil and make-up residues accumulated in the pores by cleaning your skin deeply. In this way, the skin gains a cleaner and fresher appearance.
  • Reducing Skin Irritation: Skin alum soothes the skin and reduces irritation. It relieves skin redness, itching and irritation, especially when used on sensitive skin.

It serves as an aftershave, antiseptic, and styptic agent, making it an all-in-one solution for various skincare needs.

One of the standout features of the Osma Alum Block is its ability to soothe and heal the skin after shaving.

Furthermore, the Osma Alum Block acts as a styptic agent, meaning it can effectively stop bleeding from minor cuts and nicks that may occur during shaving.

By simply moistening the block with water and gently applying it to the affected area, the alum creates a thin layer that coagulates the blood, aiding in the quick closure of the wound.

Better than a styptic pencil
5 Stars
Better than a styptic pencil
For those that don't know, a styptic pencil is powdered Alum. I find it much more convenient to use in a soild bar form, especially in the early stages of my transition into DE shaving as I shred my neck trying to find the right blade for my face.After you finish shaving, rinse your face with cool water and follow up by rubbing your rinsed and still wet face with this bar. You will feel a nice sting on your face letting you know it's working. Don't dry your face afterward...instead let it air dry, forming a protective layer. One application is generally enough but if you still have a bleeder, wet the bar and reapply to the problem spot.A must have for anyone new to DE shaving!
Thank you for your feedback
