I have a block of aluin, which I think is the same thing? It helps, but it isn't magic. I'm not applying pressure, but still I get many very small wounds.
Alum blocks are similar but different, it's worth looking into getting a styptic pencil or at least researching the differences.
Hmmm, what handle are you using? The common suggestion I've seen is to get a vintage Gillette tech off of eBay. It's nigh impossible to cut yourself with one of those, and they're usually around $10-$15.
The issue isn't so much that I'm cutting myself, but that I end up with multiple very small wounds, roughly the size of a hair/hairsack. Like my shave is just a little too close?
I have an adjustable handle, Merkur 50C I believe. I set it to the least aggressive setting, and am trying all different brands of blades, but so far there's little difference.
Ah, sounds like razor bumps maybe? I don't know too much about them unfortunately. What do you use right now?
