Liquid or solid styptic pencils

i got a cheap clubman solid styptic when I first got into things. After mastering DE & straights I've used it less than ten times total. Find your groove and you won't need to reach for the styptic!
Use it every now and then when I get in a hurry...Clubman Pinaud Nick Relief...works well...
Get a stick. Easy to use and store. Always handy to have around.
I've never tried a liquid, but the Pinaud stick works pretty well.
I like the Nick Relief Styptic Powder.
I use an Alum block most days and if I really get a nick the clubman stick. It works and stores well. I didn't even know that there was liquid styptic.
The stick I bought is still in its blister pack, unopened. Hope things stay that way.
This.
Solid for me when needed.
I like My nik is sealed. It is a roll on and dried clear not white like syptic pencils.

I have both. Tried liquid once, use the solid stick as my mainstay. I have a tricky Shakespeare/zappa-esque hybrid beard, so I'm always good for a small nick in the interior.
I usually keep a cheap Clubman stick around, but I mostly just use an alum block.
Neither! Don't purchase one, it will just encourage you to cut yourself!
What are these nicks you speak of?
Who's sig line was it that said "Blood - Nature's shaving lubricant"? <lol>
Stick for me, never have to worry about it drying out...
I used a Proraso liquid one when starting out and after using it a few times it sat for a while and dried up. It worked ok I suppose but it wasn't without it's faults.
I have a cheap clubman stick from the local Walmart that sits there unused just in case I cut myself really good. I can't tell you if I like it or not since I've never used it.
It's much more uncommon for me now but if I do get a small cut or nick I just rinse an alum block under cold water and press it to the cut for about 10 seconds and it's like it never happened.
