So, gee whiz, I am almost a year in now. I started out with a Styptic pencil for my nicks and weepers. Meh, it worked. A few months ago I read right here on these here forums that one could utilize alum powder, found in your local grocer's spice section, instead of said Styptic pencil. Seems to me it turns out they were right. I found it easier to fluff a dash of powder into my palm and a few drops of water to make a paste and apply it to any injury I had sustained.
So on to the alum stick. I was interested from the beginning in acquiring one but it never coincided with my online purchases, seems wherever I placed an order for a razor, cream, brush or soap they were out of stock on Alum. And it wasn't a huge priority. Finally the stars aligned and Stirling had them. I love the Margaritas in the Arctic, by the way. Finally in my hands I used it for the first time last night. While not earth shattering I did like it very much and will continue to use it in my routine.
All that being said I found a Thai Crystal deodorant stick in my local Natural Grocers today. Seems to be the same damned thing only in a slightly different and more user friendly presentation. And it was only four bucks. So, is it the same damned thing and could I have been using the Thai Crystal all along?
