Now we know to avoid this type of after-shave as the alcohol contained in clear after-shaves is extremely drying to the skin. Without skipping this important after-shave step, ê Alum Block and ê Shave After-Shave were developed to tone and sooth, not dehydrate the skin after shaving. Our toning ê Alum Block is made of natural ingredients, alum (haemostatic) and potassium (a natural antiseptic). The potassium has the same toning and cleansing properties of the traditional alcohol without its drying effect. Hydrating ê After Shave Cream and ê Fragrance Free After Shave Soother provide extra hydration to sensitive skin after shaving helping to sooth and protect. Product Tip: ê Alum Block will last longer provided you do not leave it in water after use. After use, leave it out to dry to avoid unnecessary dissolve.   Shaving Tips   1.
