It's not quite as simple as that. You have to factor in your individual clotting characteristics, how thick the lather is and the type of cut or nick you have. I'm sure the phase of the moon comes in...

I think it's kind of the same as putting a tissue over the area. The lather is thick and it covers the nick and that mass promotes clotting.
