Review on The Ultimate Skincare Essential: Taylor of Old Bond Street Alum Block by Laura Russell

This product will make your pores more beautiful after a week of use. I shave with a mechanical safety razor (ie single blade) and it works wonders. I apply hot water, apply Aveda Composition Pure-formance Oil to shaved area, apply shaving cream, shave, rinse with warm water and wet block with warm water, rub all over my face and both sides of my neck . (wet as needed), brush your teeth and allow the water to cool, then rinse with ice water. Finish with L'Occitane Cade Light After Shave Balm. Great way to start the morning. I usually share a razor and an alum block with a shower.
