Frequently Asked Questions
The Barber hemostatics are alum-based products designed for instant control of minor cuts during or after shaving. Alum constricts the pores, stops bleeding and acts as a natural antiseptic — without alcohol, without stinging, without chemical additives.
Wet the hemostatic with cold water and glide it gently over the nick or across the entire freshly shaved face. The alum constricts pores immediately and stops even the smallest weepers. After 1-2 minutes, rinse with cold water and apply your aftershave.
The block covers a larger area — you pass it over your entire face as a natural aftershave that soothes, tightens and disinfects. The pencil is more targeted — you use it on a specific cut that's bleeding. Ideally, you have both in your routine.
Potassium alum is a natural mineral with no fragrances, alcohol or preservatives. It tightens pores without drying and doesn't irritate even very sensitive skin. If alcohol-based aftershaves sting you, an alum block is the gentlest alternative available.
After use, rinse the block with cold water and let it air dry in a ventilated spot. Don't leave it soaking in water — it dissolves gradually. With proper care, one block lasts months of daily use.
The Barber hemostatics are available at HairMaker.Gr, including alum blocks and styptic products. Shipping is available across Greece, Cyprus and internationally — worldwide shipping with no restrictions.

The Barber – Alum Hemostatics for Shaving & Grooming
The Barber hemostatics are based on potassium alum — a natural mineral with astringent and antiseptic properties that has been used in shaving for centuries. It constricts pores, stops minor bleeding instantly and soothes the skin without alcohol, fragrances or chemical additives.
The use is simple: wet the alum block with cold water and pass it over your freshly shaved face — it works simultaneously as a natural aftershave, antiseptic and hemostatic. For targeted cuts, a styptic pencil stops bleeding in seconds with precision. Ideally, every wet shaver keeps both in their routine.
The Barber hemostatics are suitable for all skin types — even very sensitive — and are an essential tool in both barbershops and at home. For anyone who shaves with a safety razor or straight razor, an alum block isn't a luxury — it's basic equipment.
