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 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.

Great size alum block lasts a long time

I have a love hate relationship with this alum bar. I love that it works so well, but hate the burn from my bad shaving technique. It works great to slow down and stop bleeders. I have had it a month or so and haven’t noticed a size difference. I think it will last for a decent amount of time.

its good amount for the buck, but price went up. Also the product isnt chipped straight from the rock, you can tell it was processed, mine just fell aparted and the inside is very rocky and bumpy like it was pressed together with a machine and not so well. could be made a bit better as to not fall apart, its my second one and both did this.I'm trying another brand.

Nice, long lasting

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!

Run it under cold water and it's a refreshing end to a great shave. Makes your face tingle.

This is a great, big alum bar. Long lasting. Does a great job on my poor face.
