Ok... Been shaving for nearly 20 years.. Been wet shaving for a month and half...

This morning before work I cut myself shaving on the upper lip, just below the nose on the ridge in the middle... stupidly it wasn't because I miss handle the razor, but I turned my head.... Anyway lesson learned...

I've used a styptic pencil since the early 90's when I started shaving, but as we have all had some gushers I thought I would start a thread in the beginner section concerning the stoppage of bleeding.. Especially when you get a decent slice, what you can do to get on with the day, vice looking like you're suffering from severe radiation poisoning..

We can all concede to the basics of a Styptic Pencil, and toilet paper on the face.... What else..???????????What for the gushers, or the nicks that won't stop bleeding.????

Please post your blood clotting, tips, tricks and secrets here.
