alum blocks

I have been doing some research and several sites suggest using an alum block after shaving your face. Has anyone used it on their head and if so where did you buy your block.

What is the presumed benefit?  Send a link and I'll read up on this.

Haven't personally used one but I heard that Alum can cause serious breakouts for some individuals.
