Taylorof Old Bond Street Alum Block

Q: I shave my whole head. Would the block shape be difficult to apply to a round, hard surface? Seems like it is more for softer surfaces like a face.

I also am a headshaver. I put a small rubber band on the end so I don't drop it, and rub the end of it on my head and face. Seems to easily cover the entire surface easily. Just make sure your head and block are wet.

Q: Is an alum block like a styptic pencil? Does it leave white residue like a styptic pencil?

it will stop nicks and does not leave a white residue, but it does leave alum on your face which can be drying to the skin, so it should be rinsed off after use. The best stypic I've used is a roll on. It works great and doesn't leave a white mark.
