Those words are factoids

i never use one , i have though , the cuts i have had the styptic seemed to have no effect .. and anything smaller has stopped after a cold wet cloth

Try Ammonia 25%, it stops the bleeding fast and is also a good incentive not to get any cuts.

I always pull out the pencil, if I don't I will need it.

Murphy's Law at work.

Styptic pencils are for girls, real men use small pieces of toilet paper & wear it proudly. One square maximum, then you have to break out the superglue.

I agree completely with you!! I'm older and even with a DE I seem to get occasional weepers! Are weepers bothersome? Yes! Tolerable? Yes! Worth the end results of using a straight?? DEFINITELY YES!!!!!!!!

I have a septic pencil that I've used for over a year and I just bought a replacement for it!!! The only reason I'm replacing it is because when I hold it I don't dry my hands, the water makes the compound slowly melt away!! So where I hold it, it became so thin that it broke!!

What the Hell! $2 after a year!?! Beats the Hell out of $20+ for a pack of %@^&*($%^%^$+%^&%#^#$ FANCY 3+blades Disposables that gave me ingrown hairs and razor burn not to mention emptying my wallet to make corporate America rich!!!
