 Halts nicks in their tracks November 3, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's always begins the same way - I'm almost done shaving, a perfect shave. No cuts, no nicks, just a smooth, slightly red but happy face. Then, on one of the final drags of the Fusion across my neck I manage to cut myself. In the past, I curse loudly, dab the blood with a tissue or cotton round, wait, dab again, wait, splash my face with cold water, wait, dab, wait., eventually it clots and I have a nice imperfection marring my previously perfect shave.
These days, when I cut myself I curse loudly (still) but now reach by the sink and grab my alum block, hold it under running water for a few seconds, hold it to my cut for another few seconds, and then it's taken care of. I apply aftershave as if nothing had ever happened. Problem solved.
