Thank you Gaurav!

This might not be the place to ask, but do Alum bars wear down with time?
Another words, when wetting them and applying them to the face, how long should one expect to see an Alum bar last with daily use?

Goosemeplease said:This post is somewhat troubling to me -on one hand we have a vendor who is hawking his wares on our site.
We meet him with tons of criticism which he then applies to his product.
We then criticize him again for then doing such.
A few observations not directed at any one person on the B&B!
This man obviously is writing his post with English as not his primary means of communication.
Receiving fairly harsh and somewhat mocking comments being directed at him,he has shown a commendable amount of respect and restraint in his replies.I would characterize his conduct as gentlemanly.
He claims to be a wet shaver.Thats what we are here for right?
Alum is a consumable product- perhaps his processing does make a difference-I don't know!
He is not doing anything a bunch of other vendors have not done on this board.

Did you mean to post this in the other shavex thread? It doesn't seem to fit here, as we are only discussing alum blocks, not Shavex.
shavex said:...By the way, a 100g alum block on a human face (errr!) should last for atleast 12 months with frequent use and proper handing. By frequent use I mean on the entire shaved face and not spot application on nicks and cuts!
mrs. chefchris said:I also feel that all the criticism has gone a little too far.
And everyone is always welcome to decide these things for themselves.
Goosemeplease said:If I am not mistaken the gentleman did say the way he heat treats the blocks require the smaller size -the larger ones cannot be heated to the same temperature, That may explain it?
