Omega Alum Stick

Great quality, very pleased.

The Alum Stick is easy to use. it glids nicely over your face and it takes care of an nicks and cuts.

Nicked myself while shaving and rubbed the aluminum stick on my cuts. Stings a bit but does the job well. Never used anything like this before and came in handy.

It works well, and after many uses I find the shape of the stick to be the biggest drawback. Sometimes I find the smaller surface area to be lacking when compared to a block. But the packaging and casing, with a little handle for better grip I really like. Fits perfectly with my other items as well.

Yeah, this stuff is what got me through originally back in the early 90s when I first started with a safety razor in the military. I quick using razors for over 20 years and just switched back to it, and I knew I was gonna be rough to start. It isn't like training wheels on a bike :)

I would like to say that was good but it did not come in my order. I received three wrong stands but that was fixed but never received this product on my order.

It works like it is supposed to. I use it every time I shave.

It't great for shaving but also when you cut yourself or got a pimple it comes in handy.

The size of this stick doesn't hog space on my sink. Cover protects contamination from splash or spray.

Great alum stick and long lasting

Works as expected and with the twist cover and shape of the stick it's nice to just leave on the counter and use when needed

The alum stick is easy to use and works to seal up any nicks or weepers. I like that is has a cap for storing it.

I'm sorry: I have to dissent from all of the other uniformly glowing reviews. I've always been a lowly styptic pencil fan. I note now that Matt has one of these for sale; but I didn't see it offered when I came here looking for one. So I bought this alum stick and I have to say that it's nowhere near as effective as the traditional old styptic pencil. The maker also suggests you can use it to apply to your entire face after a shave. I find it to be very drying if you do that. For my money, nothing is better than the old fashioned stiptic pencil at less than half the price.

Works effectively. Can tell will last awhile and comes in an easy to access twist case.

Great product at at a great price. Beats the brakes off the other alum block I had

Great way to use alum, whether you wet it, use it dry against your wet/damp skin, or use it dry period, this is an excellent way to apply it. It stores really well this way too. Great product!

This is my first time using such a product. I like this alum very much. After shaving this is very soothing and comforting. Very nice addition to my shaving routine

I'm not one to review products, I figured this might be one of those pie in the sky products. Nope. It's a game changer. I strongly suggest giving it a go.

I like the clever design of this. Being enclosed in a protective screw tight case makes it very handy for travel in a variety of ways. I prefer my Osma block at home (I love the ‘ice cube’ like feel of it) but I really love traveling with this Omega alum because of the case. I do use it at home too. It sits well on the shelf or by the sink. It is certainly smooth enough new to be irritation free.

Alum blocks are not very costly. I recommend getting this and the Osma block so you can compare. Both are very fine products and either would likely last you nearly for life.

Every now and again, there is the eventual "nick". Only had to use it once, and it did the job without a problem.

I’m new to wet shaving so I have a few cuts from time to time. The alum stick seals the cuts. The stick makes it easy to use. Since it’s small, I can use it for travel too. The price was very reasonable.

This alum seems to sting less than a styptic pencil and doesn't taste as bad when it gets in my mouth. I don't recommend tasting it on purpose as its still horrible. However it does stop the nicks from bleeding. Still nick myself sometimes on the 2nd pass. Great product that i wish i had bought when i just started wet shaving.

It's Alum we all know what it does. What's nice about this is it is small and compact. It's as much at home on your counter as it is in your Dopp bag.

I use this to give my fingers extra grip if the razor feels slippery from slick shaving soaps (like Stirling). I also use it for the occasional nick on my neck. I got a styptic pencil, but it is a bit fiddly to use and the surface gets rough after use. Not the Omega alum. It is easy to use, stays smooth and the container is neat.

This product will help you when you get Nick from shaving and also give you good feedback on how well you have shaved this is a must-have product and everyone's shaving bag

Great pre-balm astringent, as good as any I've used including liquids at a fraction of the cost of my go to Clinique.

It is a good product - goes on easy - smooth - stops the flow from the nicks. Best price anywhere and I have checked - will also last a very long time - I love the product dispenser and the feel in your hand.

I walked into the shop to begin my journey in the safety razor game and was told that the Alum Stick was a must buy. "You are just starting and will probably nick yourself frequently and this will help with healing and bleeding" they told me. And so, I bought it.

I have used this item a handful of times, but not because of nicking myself. And it does its job. However, with that in mind, it is not a permanent resolution and can only do so much. It's good for stopping the bleeding if you're still shaving but I would recommend following up with a topical ointment to help the healing process.
