Ok, so I know a stypic pencil or alum block works great for little nicks and small cuts while shaving but what about cuts - as in big open wounds. Drying my blade off with a tissue instead of a cloth (as per a friend's recommendation since I seem to be in the habit of getting water spots) and my razor went through the end of my finger (as well as of course the tissue) like a boiling blade to butter. Pretty clean slice - the type that doesn't start bleeding till you can see the white and then the blood starts comes delayed like. Would this be too big a slice to apply an alum block or something of the kind? and if I did apply it it would no doubt stop the bleeding nice and quick - and possibly promote healing? Look forward to your thoughts guys. Thanks!
