Review (4/5): It works
Being new to DE shaving I did not find out about Alum blocks until after a few months in. I use it after every shave and I have to say it has really helped heal my face, especially the sensitive parts of my neck. It gets 4 stars because the price is almost twice what it should be and it came in a cheap piece of cardboard. Razorock has one for a little more than half that comes with a travel case.
