Thread: Say "NO" to Styptic Pencils

My GF got me this bottle of 100% Aloe Vera Gel, and I have been using it in various ways, and just discovered a new way.

This morning I got two nicks, one under my lip, one on my neck.

My styptic pencil is gone, so I tried using a dab of Aloe Vera Gel.

It stopped the bleeding in both places immediately, and no (as in ZERO) pain. No stinging, nothing.

I went to work and the cuts were still invisible, well actually, one had a *tiny* dark spot, but did not look like a cut or blood.



Sorry guys, I have always found the Styptic pencil to be problematical. This is like a miracle.


I realize this is my second posting about this stuff. No, I don't sell it, I don't work for any company that sells it, and I am not a new-age herbal fanatic. Honestly, this is my exact experience.

You gotta try this.

Please follow-up with your own results.

I kinda like the pain!!!

Ha ha!

Me too!! I love pain for pain's sake!

That's why I took up straight razor shaving, because it is so painful!!! Ha ha ha!!!!!!!

I love the pain! I passed by some in a whole food type tore and almost got some, i heard it works good if you put a squirt in your lather. Like an aloe vera superlather...i think ill pick some up next time i pass by it.

If there is no pain, what is the motivation for improvement?

hahaha

As do I.. it lets you know that you are alive.

and Mmmmm.. so bracing!

You know, I'm not sure if everyone is kidding here or not... But I kind of enjoy putting my high alchohol content aftershave on after a shave. A moment or two of sting... It's kind of like a wake up call. :P

I"m beginning to think there are a few folks here who experiment with putting aloe on everything, then report when it works. Among the failed ideas: out of motor oil, aloe!; out of jelly, aloe; shark bite, aloe.

But who am I to complain? It was my grandma's cure all (and she always kept aloe plants in the house so it would be handy), and I go through quite a bit of it myself.

Most of the time that I've used any sort of aloe gel it leaves a sticky residue, any trouble with that after shaving? Have I been using the wrong type?

Interesting. I'll give it a try the next time I nick myself, but I did try it in my lather on Saturday...

I wasn't impressed in the least bit with the addition. I actually ended up with some razor burn on my right cheek. I thought maybe it was my razor needing some work, but just this morning I shaved with that same razor and only my Col. Conk soap, and my face feels WAY better than it did on Saturday.

I'll try it on a nick, but I'm not sold on the lather addition...

BTW, I kinda like the way Styptic feels. I don't think it hurts, but I like the way it tightens up my skin.
