My "I see blood" routine:
1. Cold water. Closes up most little cuts.
2. Alumn block. Slightly more effective than cold water, I like it mostly for how it feels though.
3. light rubbing with styptic pencil.
4. Firm pressure with styptic pencil.
I don't think I've had any cut or nick that couldn't be stopped like that.
Real men just fire up a soldering Iron and cauterize it it for good:)
I'll go with what ResidentR said.. plus chicks dig scars....
As far as Super Glue goes, for me it seems that with DEEP cuts that should have needed stitches to leave the ends of the cut un-superglued for drainage. But as far as nicks and minor gouges I tape mine up with the adhesive portion of a bandaid after alum block or stypic pencil. One ore two days and it is healed enough to shave. Here lately I seem to be digging the toe in an awful lot. One of the weeks. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Don't a turn a head............
This thread is turning my stomach, who started this anyways hehe :)
Superglue will eventually breakdown on a "wet" wound (one that leaks plasma.) Pressure first. There's nothing magic about styptic, flour or any fine powder will work to give the blood products a base to begin forming a clot.
And..."All bleeding stops eventually." One of the first things taught in med school.
Some one told me ages back as soon as you nick yourself stop shaving and apply alum right away. I have noticed that if I wait its harder to stop the bleeding.
if its a real big nick, pressure tends to sort it.
