Just a note for guys who like styptic....I hate pencils, and roll-on, and sponge top. They are crazy expensive for what you get...So here it is, go to your local pet store and buy Kwik Stop, Gell Styptic. Thats right, it is for birds nails, when we cut them to short and they bleed. It has benzocain in it also....let me tell you one drop on a q-tip and you can do several nicks.....and it is a 4oz bottle for about 9.00(which will last 20 years). It works much better then all the other styptic with no mess or white stuff left on your face.
