Product Information

After you’ve completed your shave, rinse the area with cold water. Make sure no soap or shaving cream remains on the skin. The great thing about styptic pencils is that they are such low-maintenance tools, making them a fantastic addition to your everyday shaving kit. After taking the styptic pencil out of its casing, it’s important that you run it under water and hold it there for a few seconds. This helps to activate the substances in the pencil so it can more effectively help to seal up the wound and stop the bleeding. Why does a styptic pencil sting? Rinse and pat-dry any excess blood that is coming out of the cut before applying the styptic pencil to it. Make sure you’re only getting wet what will be applied to the wound, not the entire thing – if too much gets on there, it can end up being more painful than helpful!

Most styptic pencils are made from synthetic ingredients, but some brands offer natural ingredients exclusively and tend to add in other useful ingredients such as vitamin E and aloe vera. As with CVS, you’ll probably be able to find a good styptic pencil at Walgreens, but you’ll be paying more for it than you would at other retailers. Before the days of the multi blade razor the styptic pencil was a necessary part of a man's shaving kit and was used to seal cuts caused by careless shaving, although many people still continue to use styptic pencils with their double edged safety and cut throat razors. And there are other similar liquid or balm-like products as well. The Shaving Pencil For Cuts To “Write Over” MistakesIt took me 17 years of shaving (and two as a grooming writer) to ever hear about styptic pens. I was embarrassed by this, until I spoke with my friends and learned that that most of them had also never heard of the miracle-working, blood-clotting device. How did something so useful ever go out of fashion?

Many of their stores have stopped carrying them, but look in the shaving aisle and you may find a few on the bottom shelf. If you like everything you just read about the Clubman Pinaud travel size styptic pencil, but just wish it were a little bigger -- I’ve got great news! Clubman Pinaud also makes a “Jumbo” styptic pencil. Styptic Pencils are used when cut yourself wet shaving. They will stop the bleeding immediately and kill bacteria. How to use oneWhy would anyone want Clubman Pinaud’s Jumbo styptic pencil instead of the travel size? Well the most obvious reason is that it should last you a lot longer. I really don’t think many of you will need anything this big, but this will definitely last longer as long as you don’t break it.

Deodorant and antiperspirant products work by eliminating bacteria and reducing perspiration. There are various types of natural deodorants, including a type of crystal deodorant made of potassium alum. Styptic pencils are pretty simple to use. With just a little practice, you should easily be able to close up any minor shaving cuts. Hopefully this won't be a part of your post-shave routine very often, but here’s a step by step guide on how to use a styptic pencil.

All about plasters: choosing the right one

If you’re looking for a small styptic pencil that won’t take up much space in your Dopp kit, then this is a great option. You will need to find some type of case or bag to store this in, but it will last a long time if you take care of it. A styptic pencil is used to stop bleeding from a small cut. It is applied to the cut and then pressure is applied. You can apply Safe and Sound Health’s Styptic Pencil directly to small cuts to stop bleeding instantly. Styptic pencils are commonly used to treat and stop bleeding from shaving cuts, but they are also useful for calming skin irritation after an insect bite or sting.

Styptic pencils certainly sting a little when you use them, but don’t let that dissuade you from getting one. Isn’t it worth a few seconds of stinging if it prevents you from having to walk around with little pieces of tissue on your face or having to worry about a cut opening up again later?Since they contain germ-killing ingredients, they will sting a little, but don’t worry, that means it is working to help clean the area and prevent infections. How do you clean a styptic pencil? Kutkit’s Sanitary Styptic Swabs comes with a set of 12 disposable swabs. The active ingredient is 21.3% aluminum chloride-6-hydrate while the inactive ingredients are water, propylene glycol and glycine. Just like with the Clubman Pinaud’s, the active ingredient is 56% aluminum sulfate. I’m not sure what the inactive ingredients are but this thing is incredibly effective at closing up shaving cuts.
