Description

Product information "Captain Fawcett ALUM BAR"

Captain Fawcett Traditional Alum Bar – For Minor Shaving Nicks and Razor Burn

A traditional alum stone for treating freshly shaved skin. The natural mineral has an astringent action, helps with minor superficial shaving nicks and leaves the skin feeling toned and refreshed. Moisten with cold water, glide gently over shaved areas and allow the stone to dry thoroughly after use. Presented in a cotton drawstring bag. Made in India.

Captain Fawcett Traditional Alum Bar continues one of the oldest rituals of traditional wet shaving. Barbers have used alum for generations to treat freshly shaved skin and attend to the small superficial nicks that can occur during a close shave.

Alum has an astringent action: when applied to damp skin, it temporarily contracts the surface tissue. This can help seal minor shaving nicks and improve the way the skin feels after shaving.

For minor shaving nicks

For a small superficial cut, moisten the Alum Bar with cold water and press it gently against the affected area for several seconds. The mineral helps control the slight bleeding associated with the small nicks commonly caused by wet shaving.

A brief tingling or stinging sensation may occur. It often identifies areas where the shave was particularly close or the skin received greater stress. An alum stone is not suitable for large, deep or persistently bleeding wounds.

As the conclusion to a wet shave

The Alum Bar can also be passed carefully over larger freshly shaved areas. Its astringent effect leaves the skin feeling toned, clean and refreshed. After an especially close shave, it can help identify stressed areas and prepare the skin for subsequent care.

An alum stone does not replace moisturising skincare. Follow with a soothing Captain Fawcett Post Shave Balm to provide moisture and conditioning lipids after the alum treatment.

How to use on minor nicks

Rinse the face with cold water after shaving. Moisten the Alum Bar briefly with cold water and press it gently against the minor nick for several seconds. Do not rub forcefully.

Repeat if necessary. If a cut bleeds heavily or persistently, discontinue use and treat the wound appropriately.

How to use as a post-shave ritual

Pass the moistened stone lightly over the freshly shaved areas. Leave it on the skin for approximately 30 to 60 seconds, then rinse with cold water according to personal preference.

Pat the skin dry and follow with a suitable Post Shave Balm. Avoid immediately applying a strongly alcoholic product if the skin is already displaying significant irritation.

Caring for the Alum Bar

Rinse the stone thoroughly with clean water after each use to remove skin particles and product residue. Shake off excess water and allow the Alum Bar to dry completely in the open air.

Do not return the stone to its cotton bag while it is still damp, and do not leave it permanently on a wet surface. Moisture will gradually dissolve the mineral and may leave its surface uneven. Alum can also break if dropped onto hard bathroom tiles.

The classic Captain Fawcett shaving ritual

For a traditional wet shave, begin by preparing the whiskers with warm water and work a Captain Fawcett Shaving Cream into a rich lather with a shaving brush. Apply the Alum Bar with cold water after shaving.

Finish with Captain Fawcett Post Shave Balm to calm and condition the skin. Those who favour the classic Expedition Reserve fragrance may then apply a restrained amount of Expedition Reserve Eau de Cologne to the neck or pulse points.

Caution

For external use only. Use solely on small, superficial shaving nicks. Do not apply to deep, extensive or inflamed wounds. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. Discontinue use if strong or persistent irritation occurs. Do not share the Alum Bar with other people.

Captain Fawcett METAL TUBE KEY

Captain Fawcett Metal Tube Key – Stainless-Steel Key for Precise Dispensing A hand-crafted tube key made from robust stainless steel for the controlled and almost complete emptying of traditional metal tubes. Ideal for shaving creams, beard balms, hand creams and many other grooming products presented in metal tubes. Sturdy, reusable, portable and 100% plastic-free. A durable grooming tool in Captain Fawcett’s unmistakable style. The Captain Fawcett Metal Tube Key is a small tool with a surprisingly substantial benefit. It neatly rolls a metal tube from the sealed end, moving the contents steadily towards the opening. This allows shaving creams, beard balms and other premium grooming products to be dispensed more precisely and used almost completely. Repeated folding, awkward squeezing and struggling with the final section of a tube are no longer necessary. Made from stainless steel, the Tube Key is sturdy, durable and suitable for repeated use. Its compact shape occupies very little space in the bathroom or wash bag and makes it a practical addition to a traditional grooming kit. Use Almost the Entire Contents of the Tube A metal tube that appears empty will often contain a surprising amount of cream or balm. When squeezed only with the fingers, the product may be distributed unevenly and can move back towards the sealed end. The Captain Fawcett Tube Key rolls the tube evenly and under control. The rolled section prevents the product from returning to the rear and gradually moves the remaining contents towards the opening. This makes it easier to dispense the desired amount and use the product comfortably until the tube is empty. It is particularly useful with premium shaving and grooming preparations. Precise and Clean Dispensing Even rolling keeps the metal tube neat and manageable. The Tube Key helps release only the amount required instead of allowing sudden pressure to force excessive product through the opening. The key can remain attached throughout the life of the tube. At each use, simply rotate it slightly further. The tube remains neatly rolled and ready for the next application. Robust, Reusable Stainless Steel The Tube Key is made from robust stainless steel. The material is sturdy, easy to care for and designed for many years of repeated use. Unlike a basic plastic tube squeezer, the Captain Fawcett Metal Tube Key is completely plastic-free. Once one tube has been emptied, remove the key, clean it when necessary and attach it to the next suitable metal tube. Which Tubes Is the Key Suitable For? Shaving creams in traditional metal tubes Beard balms and beard creams Hand creams and skin-care products Toothpaste in metal tubes Ointments and cosmetic pastes Artists’ colours and other tubed products The Tube Key is designed for flexible metal tubes. Its performance may be limited with rigid plastic or laminate packaging. Before use, check that the sealed end fits into the slot and can be rolled without excessive resistance. Benefits at a Glance Helps empty metal tubes almost completely Allows controlled, economical dispensing Rolls the tube evenly and neatly Prevents the contents from moving back towards the sealed end Made from robust stainless steel Hand-crafted construction Sturdy, durable and reusable 100% plastic-free Compact and easy to carry Suitable for numerous grooming and everyday products Ideal for bathrooms, travel and barbershops Directions First place the metal tube as flat as possible on a firm surface. Insert the sealed, flattened end fully into the slot in the Tube Key. Hold the key securely and turn it slowly. The end of the tube will wrap evenly around the shaft, moving the contents towards the opening. Turn only until slight resistance can be felt. Dispense the required amount from the tube as usual. Leave the Tube Key attached and rotate it a little further with each subsequent use. Do not apply excessive force. Sharply folded or damaged metal tubes may split along the creases. After Emptying the Tube Once the tube is empty, carefully rotate the key in the opposite direction and slide it out of the sealed end. When required, clean it with warm water and a small amount of mild washing-up liquid, then dry thoroughly. The Tube Key can then be used immediately on the next suitable metal tube. Ideal for Captain Fawcett Shaving Creams The Metal Tube Key is the ideal companion to Captain Fawcett products presented in traditional metal tubes. Premium shaving creams in particular can be dispensed neatly and used comfortably until the very end. Depending on the preferred fragrance, the Tube Key can be paired with suitable shaving products from the Expedition Reserve, Maharajah, Rick Hall’s Booze & Baccy and other Captain Fawcett collections. Together with a Captain Fawcett shaving brush, matching shaving cream and the corresponding Post Shave Balm, it forms part of a complete British shaving ritual. Practical for Travel Its compact shape fits easily into a wash bag or small accessories case. While travelling, it also helps keep metal tubes neatly rolled and prevents partially emptied packaging from becoming unnecessarily bulky. The key contains no moving or delicate components, making it a straightforward and durable travel accessory. Care Instructions When necessary, clean with warm water and a mild detergent. Dry completely afterwards. Do not use highly abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these may scratch the surface. Hand-crafted tube key made from robust stainless steel. For precise dispensing and the near-complete use of metal tubes. Sturdy, durable and reusable time after time. 100% plastic-free. Made for Captain Fawcett. Material: Stainless steel
