Pros & Cons
Pros
Of course, ymmv though. I like the clean, tight feeling from the alum and it seems to calm my skin. I also like that it came in a cardboard box instead of a cheap plastic holder. Only downside is that i’ve found it to irritate my skin slightly.
Perfect scent free deodorant, aftershave, and general antiseptic. I prefer this, because i often apply a cologne after shaving.

Highlights
Quality
Its a great quality product made in france
Good quality works really good really help to reduce the burning after shaving and fast shipping
I did a good choice getting this one from osma is a much better quality
Price
Exactly as described at a good price
Competitiveness
The reason i gave four stars is that it takes a little longer than a styptic pencil to stop a nick from bleeding
My brother recommended this to me years ago and i will never go back to traditional aftershave products again
Find this much more effective than a styptic pencil
Its not as good as a styptic pencil for stopping bleeding though and can take awhile to stop larger cuts

For a more experienced shaver who doesnt have this issue i think a witch hazel splash will do better at calming the face down
