What is an alum block in shaving?

An alum block is a mineral block made of potassium alum, a compound that has antiseptic and astringent properties. The antiseptic properties of the alum block offer protection against disease-causing microorganisms, while the astringent properties help reduce inflammation and bleeding.

Generally, an alum block is used after shaving to soothe the skin, prevent the spread of bacteria, and reduce bleeding associated with minor nicks and cuts. It can also be used to prevent some of the more annoying side effects of shaving, such as razor burn and ingrown hairs.
