Alum Stick

The Taylor of Old Bond Street Styptic Pencil is a precise tool for occasional small shaving nicks. Its slim solid format treats the point that needs attention instead of the whole shaved area.

Aluminium sulfate provides the concentrated astringent action. The pencil is intended for sealing small cuts caused during shaving. Its narrow tip makes local application straightforward. Kept clean and dry, it is a compact addition to a wet-shaving kit.

Choose this if: you want targeted care for a minor shaving nick rather than a full-face alum block.

Not suitable if: a cut is deep, extensive or continues to bleed and needs appropriate first aid.

How to use: Moisten the tip with clean water, press it gently against the small nick for a few seconds, then rinse the pencil and let it dry fully before storage.

INGREDIENTS: Aluminium Sulfate.
