Razor issues? Alum?
I saw this post today: http://lifehacker.com/5909818/use-an...-and-seal-cuts
I thought it could be a good product for razor burn, nicks, etc. when shaving.
It sounds great: antimicrobial, soothes irritation, prevents bleeding... and so on.
Have you ever tried it? I was curious to purchase a bar.... not only for work but because sumer is coming up.
Thoughts? Advice?

Re: Razor issues? Alum?
It sounds like the same idea as using antiperspirant on the area?

Re: Razor issues? Alum?
There are alum sticks women use to tighten up their vagina called "virgin sticks". Also creams with alum. Apparently some women swear by it. Just my two cents. I have yet to try it.

Re: Razor issues? Alum?
Yea! Lol Weird right?? I saw them on shopinprivate.com
Also OP- alum bars are used on men in barber shops I believe as an aftershave.

Re: Razor issues? Alum?
Men have been using alum to treat shaving cuts for decades. Checking down the aisle with Men's razors and shaving cream.
The first thing though it buy a quality razor. One of those three or four blade razors. Traded it out when it starts to drag. A good sharp razor is going to cut of the hairs clean and lessen in growns. You don't need to drag the razor hard or press it into your flesh.
Wash the area well with hot water to clean off bacteria and such. Do this with the hottest water you can stand to open the pores. Shaving soap or dove soap carries the least additives that can irritate.
