How to Cut a Barber Alum Block to Travel Size

Travel alum blocks are generally more expensive than the standard blocks. Cutting these cheaper blocks down to travel size is actually a very easy process. Now you can make your own travel alum block in any size or even shape you choose. Based on the results achieved, any metal may be used to make the cuts as long as it can retain heat (so extremely thin pieces would not be suitable). My guess would be that even a fine oxy acetylene cutting torch might work well too.

Please share in the comments section your experiences and any alternative methods you used. This is just one simple method I used with stuff I found around the house.

The possibilities are endless.
