WHAT IS AN ALUM BLOCK?

The alum block is your go-to tool for soothing and toning the skin after shaving. Simply wet the block with a little water and gently rub it over your face following your shave. It helps to close pores, reduce irritation, and heal any nicks or cuts. The alum block also acts as a natural antiseptic, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and smooth, while providing a subtle, clean sensation.

HOW DO I USE THE BRUSH?

Getting the most out of your brush takes about 60 seconds to learn:

  1. Soak the brush in warm water for a few seconds — ring out any excess so the lather doesn't come out too thin
  2. Load the brush by swirling it over your shave soap for 15–30 seconds
  3. Build lather using circular motions on your face or in a bowl, adding small amounts of water to adjust consistency
  4. Apply to your face in circular motions for an even coat before shaving

WHAT IF I'VE NEVER WET SHAVED BEFORE?

No experience needed. The brush is the easiest part of the wet shaving ritual to learn — load it with soap, build a lather, apply to your face. Most people get it right on the first try.

If you want everything in one go, the Starter Kit includes this brush along with the Cobalt Night Shave Soap and an Alum Block — everything you need to start from scratch.

Why Cobalt Night Beats Canned Foam Every Time

Most drugstore shaving creams strip your skin bare - leaving you tight, red, and exposed. Cobalt Night Shave Soap flips the script: its rich, hydrating lather cushions every stroke, locking in moisture and preventing nicks or burn. Made without sulfates, parabens, or synthetic junk, it nourishes as it shaves - so your skin feels soft, fresh, and protected. Get ready for a real upgrade.
