About Post-Shave
After Shave Balm, Lotion and Alum
Post-shave care completes the shaving routine. A balm is usually chosen for comfort, a lotion for a traditional fresh finish, and alum blocks or alum stones such as Osma Alum Block and Osma Alum Stone are used after shaving or for small shaving nicks.
Small Nicks and Skin Feel
Parker Alum Block, Osma Alum Block and Osma Alum Stone can be used across the shaved area after rinsing, while a styptic pencil such as Taylor of Old Bond Street Styptic Pencil is more targeted. For a softer finish, use an aftershave balm such as Proraso Red After Shave Balm.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between alum and a styptic pencil?
An alum block or alum stone is usually rubbed lightly over the shaved area after rinsing. A styptic pencil is more targeted and is used directly on small nicks.
Should I choose aftershave balm or lotion?
Choose balm if you want a softer, more comfortable feel. Choose lotion if you prefer a more traditional, brisk aftershave finish.
Does alum replace aftershave balm?
Not necessarily. Alum can be used first and rinsed or left according to preference, while balm is used afterwards when the skin needs a softer leave-on finish.
Let customers speak for us
from 389 reviewsThis 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
Nothing else to add
