Parker Large Alum Block with Travel Case (125 g./4.4 oz.) - A Natural Aftershave with Antiseptic Properties - an Essential Item for Every Wet Shaver

I purchased this Parker Alum Block after watching some YouTube videos that spoke of this product highly, and I was also attacked to the size of this Alum Block. My Alum Black arrived in August 7th this week, and I was pleased when unboxing it, seeing the nice size. However, when I removed the Alum Block from the plastic case, it was quite clear that this Alum Block is made from compressed Alum crystals, and is NOT a solid Alum Block, which means like all others made with this process, it will soon begin to crumble. Also, within the compressed block of Alum Crystals, and large and jagged Alum Crystals, which could prove to be a problem as the black wears down, could it to be uncomfortable? When I buy a Parker product, I expect a high quality item. Needless to say, I’m very disappointed in this particular Parker product. Update: While it is true this Alum Block is made from compressed Alum Crystals, and not a solid block of Alum, to my surprise it did not fall apart and crumble as other Alum Blocks made using this process. It has held together just fine, has become glass smooth and it work perfectly fine. I have updated this review, increased my rating to 5 stars, and after extensive use and great satisfaction with the Alum Block… I most certainly recommend it!

I have sensitive skin and get cuts easy, since I started using this, the cuts heal very quickly and also help with the redness, worth it!

Great product

I think the block will last me a lifetime as it is big and very little is used each time. It works as advertised. Although, the edges are really sharp and it feels like cutting in my face. However, the nicks are gone. My routine is shave, wash, use teh block and then shower to clean it off.

Excellent product, shipped very quickly!

I had a block from another company, but didn't have a case to put it in once I was done using it. Therefore, this Parker was perfect for the task and the storage. So, once the Parker is gone... and that'll be awhile because it's a great size and value for the money, I'll use the case for the other block and any that come after it. I love the block because it gives me feedback on how my shave went (or in other words, how badly I suck at shaving.) It definitely helps my skin heal quickly.

Buen producto, quede satisfecha, lo volvería a comprar.

I like Parker alum blocks the best. They are longer than standard alum blocks, so there is more to hold onto and they last a long time. They hold together well and keep your face smooth with less redness or irritation. An added feature is they come in a plastic case that you can re-use.

Hier ben ik heel blij was verplant om nog 1 te kopen

A nice sized block - like a bar of soap - and I run it under cold water and wipe down my face after a safety-razor shave. Takes care of any minor nicks. I rinse it off and I’m good to go - after, I splash on some after-shave. I like that it goes over entire face to get those micro-nicks, and that it rinses off so nicely. And, it’s got a bit of heft - not a tiny styptic pencil. Glad I stumbled onto this product.

Essential parts of my shaving routine. After shaving I rub the block over my face and leave for about 30 seconds to a minute before washing off with cold water. It’s drastically reduced my shaving rash and ingrowing hairs.

The Parker Shaving Alum Block is truly a premium post-shave essential. Made from pure natural potash alum, it feels solid, smooth, and works instantly to calm and tighten the skin after shaving. The sting is brief but reassuring — proof it’s doing its job. It seals small nicks beautifully, leaves a clean, refreshed finish, and lasts for months thanks to its generous size and sturdy case. Unlike cheaper alum stones, this one feels refined and pure, with a nice grip and quality finish. A perfect blend of tradition and craftsmanship — absolutely worth the price.

大きいサイズでちゃんとケースに入っているので風呂場に保管していても、周りの湿気で溶け出すことが少ないと思う
