    Did you wet the styptic pencil first?

    I had a rather nice little cut last night myself. I stopped the shave for a moment, whipped out the trusty styptic, wet it, dabbed it on the laceration (OOoooooh tyhat feels good ), and it stopped bleeding pretty much right away. However, it was not such a deep cut.

    Yes, it was wet before using. I tried it several times, but it just kept bleeding. The scab is already gone, so I doubt a scar will show up.

    I'd keep vaseline (or anyother ointment you have) on the forming scab, That will keep it moist during the healing process.

    Good Luck

    I think I recall Lynn putting out a personal request a long time back to refrain from posting shaving injury pics.

    Yeah, I suppose it would be kind of off-putting for newcomers to come on here and see a bunch of mangled faces.

    I would suggest something with Shea Butter and Vitamin E in it. The vaseline may keep the area from breathing well. YMMV and all that...

    Default fillet o'chin

    Well after taking some amusment from this thread yesterday I whent home and had a good shave... Until I got to my chin. I have been trying to break the habit of moving my chin (to get a tighter contour) while putting the blade to it. Well I wasn't paying attention and "Doink". Took a nice fillet off the front center of my chin. About a 4mm circle bled pretty good, but due to some nerve damage didn't feel a thing.

    ooooo I hate to even think of it. I have yet to slice myself - I almost feel the need to take the admonition of some and just go ahead and do it to overcome the dread. Almost, but not quite. Buck the trend I say
