Let it bleed for a few seconds to clean it out, then squirt the superglue into the wound and compress. Seals tightly enough to stop the bleeding within 15-20 secs and it's solid enough to resume whatever you were doing within a minute or two. If one shot doesn't do it then wait a minute and give it another shot. Eventually the bits of hardened superglue work their way out of the skin, though I guess it's possible that I've got a few bits left inside me here and there.

used a lot in my trade. Break a bottle and get cut by the shards? Superglue!!!

depending on how long ago this happend sounds like you could have used a stitch or two. def dont move your chin around very much for about a week and dont even bother to try to shave your chin around the slice or you will dehise the wound,, a little neosporin will promote healing and decrease the chance of scaring
the fact that it is a razor slice means it should heal well if it does not come apart , the razor is so sharp the wound wil come together fine.
good luck and go easy next time.

The last post was right. It is a razor cut and will heal quickly if kept clean. Neosporin will speed healing. Their is a "liquid bandage" over the counter might be ok but is probably not necessary.

Industrial superglue has been used for years as a tissue glue but it is NOT medical grade and I would not put it on my FACE. Sure, if you are in a pinch it would work on on a bad cut but MacGyver has been off the air for several years now and this is no time to use his tricks of the trade. Besides, you should have a good start to a scab by now. Think of it as natures own super glue.

I will say that when I cut the s$%* out of myself it will bleed every time I shave it for the next week.

Have fun.
