I went to restock on my pitstick and I struggled to find it due to the redesign

I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw it as it now looks so damn similar to one of friend’s suits

      This is what I did back when I shaved.

      I didn’t realize it could also function as deodorant or antiperspirant, that’s cool.

        Yeah, alum, usually potassium alum, is just a solid block of one of the ingredients used in antiperspirants to plugs up sweat glands to keep you from sweating as much. That’s partially how it works as a styptic - it’s irritating, so blood vessels will contract, but it also just plugs up some of the smallest vessels. Its use was much more common before the widespread adoption of electric razors, even if just as a little styptic pencil.

        Yes, I’m one of those hobby shaving people.
