    I'm bleeding quite heavily into my bathroom sink. I'm getting a bit weak from blood loss, but the phone is in the kitchen, meaning I will have to cross about twenty feet of carpet to call for help. We just had it put in, and my wife will kill me if I get blood all over it. I've saturated all the towels in this room, but is there another way to staunch the bleeding so I can make a dash for it? I'll need an answer quite quickly.

    BTW, I tried styptic. It stung but didn't work so well.

    What do you wipe you blade on during your shave, I'm thinking of buying a rubber shave bowl to wipe my blade on it looks like a plunger but it's $55

    If you are thinking of the bowl I think you are, I think it is made of clay. Even better!
