It is occurring to me that what I have been calling nicks are not what many of you call weepers.

There are actual cuts which are where the blade actually slices a linear cut into your skin. I hardly ever do this. Then there are dots of blood which appear after you shave yourself. I get these after about every shave. Do you guys call this nicks or weepers? I ask because I use my styptic pencil on these "dots" because they are so fast to patch them up and I'm impatient. But now, I'm wondering with the responses of my Styptic Pencil poll if I could be using my pencil in many conditions where you do not.

I guess using this terminology, I use my styptic pencil whenever I get a weeper which is pretty much every shave (no matter what shaving system I use).

Thanks!
