Styptic "Matchsticks"
- Thread starter mantic
- Start date
The funny thing to me is, someone is willing to pay 50 bucks for them.
I read the title as Styptic "Lipsticks" and though it meant a twist up styptic like lipstick. 5 packs of those for 50 dollars doesn't come close to the one dollar styptic pencil by Pinaud I pick up here.
I hope that it's a mistake: here in my town I pay them... uhm... perhaps 0,20 /0,30 $.
De Vergulde Hand also makes things like that (bit cheaper though 
Real men use real matchsticks to desinfect.
I bought a whole can of Alum, in powdered form, probaby 20 times the amount on those sticks, for $0.89 at my local supermarket.
Let's see...B&B 2007 Brush or Styptic Matchsticks for about the same price...
...now THAT's an easy decision!!!

I'd buy them for maybe ~$1 max more than a normal styptic pencil, as it would be neater than a pencil for me. I seem to squish mine up and get it too wet every time I use it.
I love the packaging, but it seems as if you are paying for that as opposed to the product! Thankfully I don't really have the need for a styptic pencil. I rarely cut myself.
These seem to be a tad more reasonably priced.
