About Osma
About Osma
Osma has been associated with French alum stones and traditional shaving care since 1957. The Osma collection focuses on simple shaving and skincare essentials, with a range that includes alum blocks, alum stones, shaving soaps, pre-shave oil, face wash, and after-shave balm. The collection is especially useful for wet shavers who want simple products for preparation, lathering, and calming the skin after a close shave.
Alum Blocks and Post-Shave Care
The Osma Alum Block 75g and Osma Alum Stone 100g are natural mineral post-shave products used after rinsing the face with cold water. Alum helps tighten the feel of the skin, highlights areas where too much pressure was used, and can calm the look of minor shaving irritation.
Use alum lightly, rinse after a short time if the skin feels tight, then follow with post-shave care. For small nicks, the Osma Haemostatic Pencil gives more targeted application.
Shaving Soap and Preparation
Osma also offers shaving soaps and preparation products for a complete wet shaving routine. The glass jar and refill soaps work well with a shaving brush and shaving bowl, while Osma Pre-Shave Oil can be used before lathering when extra glide is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Osma alum block used for?
An Osma alum block is used after shaving to give feedback on pressure, tighten the feel of the skin and support a cleaner post-shave finish.
Is alum the same as aftershave balm?
No. Alum is a mineral post-shave step with a tightening feel, while aftershave balm is used for comfort and moisture. Many wet shavers use alum first, then balm if needed.
Does Osma also make shaving soap?
Yes. Osma includes shaving soap and preparation products as well as alum. Use the soaps with a shaving brush for a traditional lather.
Let customers speak for us
This brush (T3) is amazing and fantastic value for money. Well made and made to last. Robust when lathering up with no need to pre soak before use. Highly recommended.
Having just got back into wet shaving, I thought I would try the T3 Trafalgar & Henson AL13++. I've just used both of them and they are fantastic. The T3 is great for lathering and no need to pre soak. The Henson is just something else. If you are new to wet shaving, go for this, I didn’t have any nicks but a really close shave (3 passes). Don’t be put off as it is very lightweight, the blade will do the work and you will learn how much pressure you need to apply after a couple of uses. Using these going forward will be an absolute pleasure. Highly recommended, both of them.
Taylor of Old Bond Street is a wonderful shaving cream and I highly recommend to all.
Simpson Bay Rum shaving cream has got a very delicate but elegant scent, not too overpowering but very pleasant throughout the shave. The cream lathers easily and it's very slick, the razor will glide effortlessly. Post shave is very good, my skin was left soft and elastic even before applying the post shave balm. Definitely recommended!
After several years my old razor stopped aligning the blade correctly. This razor is a much better design, easier to clean, and a very smooth shave.
I have the Muhle R89 standard, however I wanted I wanted to improve on it for two main reasons, a longer handle and having a two rather than three piece head, whilst retaining the R89 head. The R89 'twist' was just what I needed and it most definitely works for.
Highly recommended well done male grooming for rapid dispatch
salter shaving creams never dissapoint, performance is great and aftershave feel fantastic.
the vetiver fragrance is a very dark earthy fragrance if you like vetiver this is for you
cannot fault this cream only wish they did matching splashes or balms
I’ve used these with the Henson AL13 and they seem to work very well! I suspect I may never have to buy any more razor blades for the rest of my life…!
I've used a few regular safety razors before, but I've never had a shave this smooth and clean. I finally tried this bad boy with an open comb, and it has been a total game-changer! Yes, you need a good technique, but the results are absolutely remarkable.
It also has excellent moisturizing effects.
I've moved from badger to boar due to using soaps instead of creams. The boar bristles are stiffer and better suited to soaps. This lathers up well and softens the beard ready to shave.
Excellent product - so pleased someone is still selling it
