Does its job
The alum stick is an indispensable tool for anyone who shaves regularly. A quick, accidental cut can easily occur, even for the most experienced. Therefore, the alum stick should be in every bathroom cabinet as a reliable emergency solution to quickly stop the bleeding. If you want to avoid walking around with small pieces of paper on your face in these situations, this is your solution. Alum stops the bleeding in just a few seconds by tightening your skin.
Alum is a potassium aluminium sulphate, which is a kind of salt, that acts as a haemostatic and antiseptic. This alum product is in pin form, a convenient and easy way to quickly stop the bleeding.
Weight: 12 g
Length: 11.5 cm
Width (thickness): 1.5 cm
Wet the tip of the alum pin and gently apply to the wounded area. The haemostatic effect will quickly take effect and tighten the skin to stop the bleeding. After use, rinse the tip of the alum stick with water and dry it gently before putting it back in the container. It is important to wet only the part of the pen that has come into contact with the skin to avoid breaking it.
With its compact design and powerful effect, the alum pen is the perfect choice for dealing with minor cuts and razor burns. So make sure you always have this handy tool on hand to continue your day without hassle.

Unfortunately dissolved after one use, very sensitive to water.
It works well for stopping bleeding, which is good. Guessing it's no better or worse than other alum. But the packaging is quite difficult to open, and there's nothing to hold onto, so the stick easily gets wet from your hands and has to lie completely free somewhere to dry. I had hoped it would be attached to the cap, but it is not. Feel free to buy, but adjust your expectations.
Pen
Stops the bleeding after a short while, but it's quite brittle and broke into three parts during the first use.
Good
Works well
good but haven't tried it yet
Does the job it should, but breaks far too easily. I wished it had the same mechanism as a lipstick.
Convenient format for the purpose.
