We found 3 Reddit comments about RazoRock Alum Stick - 60 g - After Shave Stick – Natural Healing and Toning. Here are the top ones, ranked by their Reddit score.
SKIN SOOTHING: RazoRock is an aftershave stick that soothes the skin and helps stop minor bleeding from nicks or cuts by closing skin pores, leaving you with smooth, calmed skin. RazoRock can even be used as a facial toner.ANTIBACTERIAL: RazoRock is made from potassium alum mineral salts, which are naturally antibacterial.DEODORIZING: RazoRock can also be used as a deodorant, offering protection from odors for up to 24 hours.ECONOMICAL: Just one RazoRock stick can last you several months to a year.NATURAL: Razorock is natural and biodegradable. It is also hypoallergenic and without fragrance.
Razor: I started with this Merkur razor (and I'm still using it after two years). Edwin Jagger is probably equally popular, but I haven't tried them.
Brush/bowl: I was given this bowl/soap/brush/holder kit as a gift and still use it, but the brush broke after about a year (I could probably fix it with some good glue but haven't bothered yet. The holder is nice, but you might be able to find just a brush and bowl separately slightly cheaper if you're on a budget. I didn't use the soap in the kit because:
Soap: Proraso soap was suggested and I ended up liking it a lot. Some people like to buy sampler packs of soap/cream as well, but this was good enough for me, and it would take me forever to get through samples. This Proraso got me through 15 months with an average of one shave per week.
Blades: I started out with a sampler pack of blades from Maggard Razors, and Gillette Silver Blue and Gillette 7 O'Clock (both yellow and green were the same to me) ended up being the easiest on my face. I tried Feather, but they were way too harsh at first, I think because I hadn't really gotten the technique down yet. Gillette was more forgiving, but once I got better at shaving, I was able to use Feathers.
Other: Lastly, I really like using an alum stick after shaving to help close up pores/tiny nicks (weepers), but they're not necessary. I also now use Shave Secret as a first layer when I start my second pass (against the grain). Again, not necessary, but I think it helps me personally a little to have that extra layer of protection to prevent razor burn. It does gunk up your razor a little, though, so just be sure to keep it clean.
--------------------------
I still only shave once a week, and I have a 3 day minimum in between shaves, otherwise I'll still get razor burn. Read up on some info in /r/wicked_edge. /u/Leisureguy has a ton of great comments in that sub. Sort his comment history by top, and you'll get plenty of good advice right off the bat. He also has a blog. My best tips: Make sure you use a shallow angle (as opposed to the perpendicular/90-degree shave you're used to with cartridge razors), and don't let your lather be too dry. Also, if your area has hard water, consider using distilled water to make your lather. Maggard Razors has been really great at shipping fast and having good prices for me and carries everything I mentioned, but there several reputable online shops. I know lots of people prefer to use Amazon, so I linked everything on Amazon except the blade sampler pack.
dom verkar bra, får bli en runda till apoteket imorgon...
Undrar om ett alum block, t.ex kan hjälpa, använt det tidigare mot raksår, men vet inte vart man kan köpa det nu för tiden?
What's the alum block you used in the video? I use this but the spherical shape of yours looks more ergonomic.
