Shaving first aids

[BCatl]

I guess I shouldnt bring up the time I had an OB/GYN stitch my face then

Don't tell me. Were you in the delivery room while your wife was delivering and you fainted and hit your head?

Seriously, my conception of the modern hospital ER is probably way off. Some of the emergency rooms in my area have closed, and I can just imagine what kind of time pressure the other doctors are under.

hockey emergency - ball hit my face and split my top lip like a cat, if not for my mouthguard you would all be calling me 'toothless pete'.

the goalies dad was an OB/GYN (though I didnt know this at the time, I just knew he was a Dr), so he first aids me and takes me across the road to a medical centre. well the doctor there isnt in yet, so he takes me in and preps me for stitches and starts laughing

not in the most cheerful of moods, as you might understand, i ask him in my most gentlemanly manner 'what the f is so funny?'

to which he replies: "Im a Gyno - people dont see the stitches I put in"

So your the first patient he could show off his stitching method in public.
You should be honored.

Glad you didn't do any more damage.

I heard of someone using "Quick Stop" for bleeding. This is a product to stop bleeding on animals when their nails are trimmed back too far.

QuikClot is something you'll find at outdoor stores and potentially pharmacies. It's a powdered hemostatic agent that will stop bleeding FAST. Think styptic pencil on steroids. In Iraq, we used bandages infused with similar stuff to stop arterial bleeding. While it will work for shaving cuts, it's almost certainly overkill.

2 different products.... I have used them both... one at work...and one at home... both are affective for their usage.
For a clean cut on myself... I use superglue.
