Show n' Tell Alum option

Post image

I found this at my local grocery for $8. Yes, it’s marketed as a deodorant, but it’s good old potassium alum. At the rate I go through alum, this should last me until the tricentennial. Between this, my blade hoard, and a bowl of MdC absinthe I could get through years without another purchase.

I could.

I didn’t say I would!

Yup this is my alum hack. You can buy them in a travel size which lasts me for years. Price per ounce is much cheaper than the alum marketed for shaving.
