After shaving, rinse the blade with warm water, dry it well with a soft cloth and keep it in a clean, dry place. Stropping your razor regularly and honing it when needed will help keep the blade sharp and ready for a smooth shave.

The Ultimate "Skin-Saving" Post-Shave Essential

Experience the immediate soothing power of the Taylor of Old Bond Street Alum Block. A staple in traditional barbershops for over a century, this 100% natural Potassium Alum block is the perfect finishing touch to every shave. It acts as a powerful astringent and antiseptic, instantly closing pores and cooling razor burn.

Why Every Shaver Needs an Alum Block:

Instant Nick Relief: As a natural hemostatic agent, it quickly seals minor nicks and "weepers," stopping bleeding without the need for tissues or styptic pencils.
The "Shave Quality" Diagnostic: When applied, a slight tingle tells you exactly where your technique was too aggressive, helping you improve your skills for the next shave.
Antiseptic & Toning: Kills surface bacteria to prevent breakouts and "shave bumps" while tightening the skin for a firm, refreshed finish.
Long-Lasting Value: This substantial 2.65 oz (75g) block is incredibly dense. With proper care, a single block can last a daily shaver over a year, making it one of the most cost-effective tools in your kit.

How to Use:

After your final rinse, splash your face with cold water.
Wet the Alum Block and gently glide it over the shaved area.
Let it sit for 30–60 seconds (you will feel a refreshing tingle).
Rinse your face with cold water again and apply your favorite Aftershave Lotion.

Specifications:

Size: 75 g / 2.65 oz
Ingredients: 100% Natural Potassium Alum
Origin: Made in England

How to Use

Simply glide the damp block over freshly shaved skin to calm redness, reduce bleeding, and leave your face feeling clean and refreshed. For more details on how to use alum blocks, read our guide here.

The gorgeous carved web and apider were both pleasing on the eye and effective at creating just the right ammount of grip so as to manage an easy shaving experiece . Perfect for novice and experienced shavers it is one of my favorite blades . The blade itself was awonderfully scalloped and razor sharp edge piece of high quality japanese steel and gave me one of the smoothest shaves out of the box that iv ever had , and when i say smooth believe me it was smooth .
Guys dont miss out on this one its an awesome piece of kit !!!

Smooth as silk

Hi guys , i just got my hands on the. NAKED armor "Bedevere" straight razor and i have to say its amazingly good. The handle a sleek yet textured ebony wood feels beautiful as yoir hand molds around it , the blade is up to the normal exsquisite degree of craftsmenship i have come to accept as the standard for Naked Armors blades , crafted in japanese steel it is sturdy and incredibly sharpand has a delightful concave grind that allows it to cut those hairs yet glide over the surface of the skin with minimal drag . Im giving him a solid 10/10 for quality , construction and its ability to shave cleqnly by amateur and expert alike.

Great Scuttle, Great soap!

Great little scuttle. Retains heat very well. Lather still warm after three pass straight razor shave. Great pre shave soap as well. Highly recommend both products.
