Review (5/5): Great
This product will make your pores look better after a week of use. I shave with a mechanical safety razor (i.e., one razor blade) and this has done wonders. I slap on hot water, apply Aveda Composition Pure-formance Oil on the shaving area, apply shaving cream, shave, rinse with warm water and get the block wet with warm water, rub it all over the face, and both sides of the neck (wetting as necessary), brush my teeth and let the water get cold, and then rinse it off with ice cold water. Finish with a light coating of L'Occitane Cade After-Shave Balm. Great way to start your morning. I usually split the shave and the alum block with a shower.
