Thread: Proraso styptic gel

I've been using a 'roll-on styptic' for years. What I have is called 'NIK+AID'. I believe that I bought it at Wal-Mart many years ago. I have not seen it recently.

The label says that the active ingredients are: Witch Hazel, Aluminum Chloride, Aluminum Chlorhydrate, Alcohol, Dimethicone, Copolyol, and Aloe Vera. It is/was manufactured by: Leib Research, Personal Care Products Div., Thousand Oaks, CA 91362.

The stuff works great, much better than the solid pencil, but tastes equally as bad. One place that I frequently cut is above my upper lip above the left side corner. (I guess I need to open my mouth to stretch the area, but I cannot bring myself to do so.) Since the stuff is liquid, a little bit of it runs over my lip.

I will keep a look out for this stuff and post where I find it.

I have that stuff too, and it's awesome. I can't find it anywhere either. It was a Wal-Mart product several years ago.

It's a UK site, but maybe someone can find a supplier in US too?

Carter and Bond are fantastic aren't they for Proraso. I order from Northern Ireland one afternoon and it miraculously arrived the next day. Must have sent it by helicopter direct to my house. lol
