Depot No. 409 After Shave Astringent Stone 90g

A natural potassium alum stone for a calm, toned finish after the razor.

Depot No. 409 is a 90g alum stone made for after shaving. Potassium alum is a colourless, solid, odorless mineral, a mix of aluminium and potassium salt of sulfuric acid, and Depot describes it as completely natural. Its astringent and hemostatic properties make it a classic ally for freshly shaved skin and for the odd nick.

There is no cream, fragrance or routine to learn: wet the skin with cold water, glide the stone gently over the shaved area, leave it for a few seconds and rinse with warm water. Depot also notes that this natural mineral is hypoallergenic. Wipe the stone dry after use and it lasts for a long time. Peggymou ships it across Cyprus.
