Alum Block

Alum is a natural mineral with antiseptic and astringent properties. For centuries, alum has been used as a hemostatic and for alleviating razor burn and skin irritations. After shaving, the alum block is first wetted and then rubbed gently over any affected skin areas. It is also a popular aftershave or deodorant. Alum doesn't contain preservatives, colorants or fragrances. It is hypoallergenic, cost-effective and extremely economical.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
