I'm a big fan of an alum bloc post shave. I apply it to wet skin following a cold rinse and leave it to do its thing whilst I wash up.
Once I'm done - i rinse it off and pat my face dry ready for my post shave balm / moisturiser depending on climatic conditions!
However, I am finding that the alum does such a good job of tightening my skin / closing pores that my moisturiser does not absorb - rather it seems to sit on my skin all day long leaving a shiny film.
Not ideal! Anyone else experience this? I'd skip the balm step if I could but then I am left with dry skin!
All the best
