Selected User Reviews For Gentleman Jon 3.7 Ounce Alum Block in Plastic Case

In what form does work still come in pieces? The answer is There is an alum bar at the Gentleman Jon
3/5

In the past, I remember my Uncle Vladimir using a straight razor to shave himself, then rubbing an alum bar on his skin to stop bleeding and to stop any irregularities he may have removed during the process. It is a memory I cherish. Using the alum bar, bleeding was always stopped very quickly, and it did the job it was intended for. There is no escaping Uncle Vlad's mistake that day he took his straight razor with him and used it against a victim even though the child did not explicitly consent to it. It will be out of his system in three more years as long as he behaves. That aside, I cannot for the life of me understand why this company refuses to invest in a box that has any kind of cushioning in it to withstand It would have been better to use a paper towel than the plastic box with its bare sides and gaps that the block could bounce around in as it made its way from here to there until it reached me. This would be spiteful and vindictive of me to give this product a one star rating. Considering this is a good product and does its job exceptionally well, I would not give this product a one star rating. It's not possible for me to give it more than three because of that. So, let's get to it. There was even my dear uncle who could keep things from breaking or rattling. It seems to me that he just took the whole methodology a little too.

Your Face Needs Some TLC
5/5

Having owned this product for over a year now, it is now proving to be quite useful. This gave me ample time to gather out-of-the-box facts to give you (the reader) a fair and thorough report on the Everything looks just like it does on the seller's site, down to the heavy duty plastic case and everything. You should also follow the directions
given to you with the product and by After a somewhat rough shave, this block of comfort feels nice on your face. You can appreciate the quality hold in your hand as well. Since it is not something you will use every day, it will mainly be used on cold mornings after your face has been roughed up. The cooling, soothing, cooling sensation will leave your face feeling cool, calm, smooth and soothing after using this product. Rinse off the mouthwash with cool water and pat dry with a towel after a couple of minutes. If you don't want to use aftershave, you can apply cologne or nothing. With this block of comfort, you will be able to keep your face protected throughout the whole day. My clear block, as I've mentioned, has been with me for a little over a year and it doesn't even have a dent. To put it in another way, I would recommend this block. There's no doubt about it, it's worth every penny after the experience I have had with it.

Deodorant that works well
5/5

The product can also be used as a deodorant. The Alum Block has never failed me, and I use it regularly to deodorize. White chunks of residue are not left behind. It has neither a sticky nor a dry feel to it. Once dried up, it is as if there is nothing there. I easily can last 18 months with one block of wood. Then wet your pits again and swipe for 2 or 3 seconds. There is no point in overdoing it, since it would just be Although deodorant doesn't need to be reapplied after showering, the deodorant's effect lasts for a full 24 hours and up to the next day or two.

The price was great, but there was a little trade-off I'm out
3/5

In the last few months, I've used this product about half a dozen times. This is a great product with great quality materials. As it should, it works perfectly. Aside from the size and the fact that it comes in a plastic box, I also appreciate the packaging. This is an important feature, especially when you are This block seems to be more of the consistency of loose powder than it is a solid block of wood. I have given it three stars instead of five. It means the application is a bit rough, and the edges have not been smoothed As the surface becomes smoother and the corners are rounded in a few uses, the solid piece becomes a very nice, smooth surface. The application is much nicer and more comfortable as a result. As far as I know, only one brand (Osma) still sends what appears to be a naturally cut stone Additionally, pressed blocks tend to develop scratches more quickly as the crystals fall out (which is the cause of the But it largely depends on what is preferable to you. Gentleman Jon comes up with a great deal, but I love the way the Osma block wears over time. It is very likely that most people will not have any issues using a pressed block, and I have some experience doing so myself Despite its high quality, this block will last a very long time. The size is comfortable to hold as well, which is a valuable feature. Please take note of this The material should not be allowed to remain on your face for more Apparently, some people finish with alum without rinsing. If used improperly, alum will damage your skin over time. The alum should be applied to close pores, then rinsed out with cool water to avoid Then, moisturize your skin lightly with a light cream. If you have done the right thing, your skin shouldn't feel tight afterward. You should feel it as smooth and flexible as possible.

It's time for me to say goodbye to styptic! Wet shaving has been a part of my routine for a long time, sometimes with cartridges and sometimes with Due to a lack of alum at the local drug store, I used to use styptic to treat nicks and razor rash
5/5

However, I have always wanted to try alum, so I searched on Amazon for it after finally having the presence of mind to do so. have never used styptic again because of the Gentleman Jon block I used today on some weeping razor rash. An alum block is extremely effective, easy to apply, and less painful to use - it does not cause skin You will feel smooth and clean after using it Your shave will be perfect after using this product.

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS GREAT I love it so much! This is a great block of aluminum! I received it in a plastic bag along with a plastic case that is nice to store it in after a shave, as well as protect it from damage
5/5

It is much larger and better quality than the $20 Alum Block that I purchased from the grooming lounge website for $20. Keeping your wounds from bleeding and preventing razor burn are some of its benefits. This requires none of the chalky mess that styptic pencils leave behind. As well, it helps tremendously when it comes to shaving irritation. This is an extremely solid product, and it is a lot larger than others I've paid much more for with similar This would have been so helpful if I had found it.
