Finished my alum block.
I've had this for years as a post shave check for whether my shave was too close but since I've been getting good shaves over the last few years I've no had the need to use it for shaving.
So I've been using it as an under arm antiperspirant. No scent but stops armpit perspiration very well. It also doesn't irritate my skin like some of the stronger commercial deodorants can do. To use it by dipping it into the sink water between the 2nd and 3rd passes and rub underarm. This gives it plenty of time to dry before I finish shaving.
It became too small for the holder/applicator so I've been using it naked (the alum block not me) but now it's got too small (3 cm cubed) to manage and hold so it's time to start on a new one.

This is the replacement one below. Great size and a nifty twist-up applicator, available from Holland & Barrett. These things last for yonks.
