styptic pencils

Looks similar to one I have had in draw for years, use to use it also on Dog if I clipped Toe Nail too close.

Go easy on the dog !!

I like to rub a wet alum block over my face and neck after a shave, with or without nicks, cuts, or abrasions. Gives a nice antiseptic rub after the shave.

I use an alum block and a jumbo styptic pen more than I would like to admit. Would probably bleed to death without them.

This mornings shave took a cold sore scab off my upper lip. The styptic pencil quickly solved the bleeding, and all is well.

I use the alum block for the (thankfully) occasional weeper. I have a styptic pencil in the cabinet and recall that it worked very well and felt less than good.

A styptic pencil is useful for not only stopping the bleeding from a nick, but as a stark reminder to be more careful in the future to avoid nicks altogether!

I have never owned one.

More than you'd like to admit? Don't kid yourself, ALL the warriors around here use them more than they admit. I certainly do, which is whenever I draw blood - sometimes more, sometimes less, and often not.

Golden rule of the Steptic Pencil is if you have one, you will not need. If you loose yours next shave with be with nicks.

I must have jinxed myself by posting earlier because I subsequently nicked myself. To be fair though it was in the usual spot (at the nasolabial fold) and I did end up using my styptic pencil. Usually for small weepers and the like a cold washcloth after I shave more than suffices. I don't use aftershave or cologne.
