I used an alum block for the first time today. It did a great job of soothing my skin and healing any minor nicks after my shave. However if I was unlucky enough to give myself a severe nick will it do the job or should I get a styptic pencil for such emergencies? My shaving technique with my 39c Sledgehammer is getting better all the time and the razor is so efficient its rare such an event happens. In fact I got more nicks from my Mach 3. So am I worrying over nothing or should I get one all the same just to be on the safe side?
