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.
