Thread: Liquid or solid styptic pencils

Which one is better? I am interested in so0me good liquid styptic pencils.

They both work. My personal preference is the liquid with the roller ball applicator.

I've never seen anything other than the solid sticks. Where do you get the liquids? I've had the same stick for about 15 years but would like to have the source to recommend for beginners.
Really!

Yea, never seen liquid, either. I just dip the tip in a drop of water and apply. I store in a small plastic pill container in a drawer to dry.

A stick will last years this way, just make sure your hand is dry.

I have both, never used either my friend in italy sent me porasso liquid

The Pacific Shaving Nick Stick works well for me. Liquid with rollerball applicator. Lasts a long time.

I did see a roller ball one at target of all places. That may be the compromise.

I'm with you on this, had I come across a liquid form, I would have definitely tried it. Might work better, I would think that it would be easier to apply with better coverage.

Alex7,

I used to use the solid styptic pencils, but now use the Proraso Shave Cut Healing gel : I really like it

Have fun

Best regards
