Thread: Alum Block

What is the best way to store your alum block after using it ?

I just make sure it's dry and I have a small plastic case that as I recall with a Classic Shave Block and use that to store it.

I took the heavy glass top from one of my wife's enormous candles. I shake off the excess water and toss it in there to dry out.

I use a soap dish.

Gentlemen:

After use, I rinse the alum block with cold water again, pat it dry and store it in its plastic case with the lid open.

I have an alum block by Edwin Jagger, which I use for travel. I had trouble finding a travel case for it, since this block is relative small, smaller than a wooden match box.

I found a small pin box in a sewing products store that works quite well. Here, too, I rinse the alum block with cold water, pat it dry and return it to the plastic pin box with the lid open until I am ready to pack it away in my wet pack and hit the road.

Alum block: that's a fabulous aftershave astringent.

I store mine in the plastic container that it comes in. As Obie has suggested just pat it dry before doing so.

I pat dry, leave out to dry for 10 mins then store in the cardboard box it came with.

I just rinse mine off with cold water and set it on top of a tub of shaving cream on the counter...
