Thread: Shaving Nicks and Cuts - How to Treat

Found this article, may have been posted before, but what I found interesting was the note about using Listerine because, "After all, it did actually start out as a surgical antiseptic and was used to clean wounds on the battlefields of WWI."

Fun, quick read, enjoy!

Shaving Nicks & Cuts: How to Treat Them | The Art of Manliness

Back in the day ...... and maybe still for some oldtimers, we used it to mix tattoo ink. A lotta Listerine went under the skin back in the old days.

my grandfather used it to keep his white hair white. He applied it daily with a small hairbrush.

My Grandfather bought it by the case, they used to deliver it. He was a Barber and used it as a mouth wash, dandruff treatment, antiseptic and who knows what else. I remeber those glass quart bottles that came in a paper tube.

Thanks for sharing...

Listerine IS the universal solvent/curative.

@JimmyHAD - Sewing needles/pins with thread wrapped above the point or were you fully electrified?
