Used by barbers since time immemorial, and for good reason. Captain Fawcett's Traditional Alum Bar is a natural mineral stone - pure Ammonium Alum - that tones, tightens, and soothes freshly shaved skin in a single, effortless pass. A natural antiseptic that closes pores, seals nicks, and leaves the complexion coolly unruffled and ready for whatever the day intends to throw at it. Presented in a cotton drawstring bag. Look sharp, gentlemen - the day awaits.
For the traditional wet shaver who wants a proper post-shave finish. The Alum Bar is the step between the razor and the aftershave - toning and tightening the skin, addressing any minor irritation or nicks, and preparing the complexion for whatever comes next. An essential addition to any serious shaving kit, and a product that makes the case for the full wet shave ritual more compellingly than almost anything else.
- Natural antiseptic that tones and tightens the skin after shaving
- Closes open pores and seals minor nicks and cuts
- Reduces razor burn and prevents post-shave irritation
- Pure Ammonium Alum - a single, natural mineral ingredient
- Presented in a cotton drawstring bag 90g bar for long-lasting use
Moisten the bar with cold water and glide gently over the freshly shaved face. Allow to dry briefly on the skin, then rinse lightly. Follow with your preferred aftershave or moisturizer. The slight tingling sensation on application is normal and indicates the alum is working.
The Alum Bar is one of those grooming tools that feels entirely unnecessary until the first time you use it properly - and then becomes non-negotiable. The post-shave toning and pore-closing effect is immediate and genuinely noticeable, the natural antiseptic action addresses minor irritation before it becomes razor burn, and the pure single-ingredient formula means there is nothing in here that shouldn't be. At 90g, it lasts considerably longer than most post-shave products and represents exceptional value in the shaving kit. Available at MASC in 90g.
