If and when you guys cut yourselves shaving, how do you get the bleeding to stop quickly? How do you get the cut to heel quickly?
I cut myself two days ago shaving and I couldn't get the bleeding to stop for awhile and now I can get it to heel.
-
there is a product called nick-stop or something like that. burns like hell but stops the bleeding quick.
-
A styptic pencil. Probably the same thing as pburke is referring to. Then antibiotic ointment for healing.
-
I do the regular toilet paper deal. As far as healing, I just let it heal itself. I had a cut on the side of my head a couple weeks ago. It just cleared up by itself.
-
Finger tip with direct pressure followed with liquid bandage.
-
Thanks guys! I'm going to try to find one of those Styptic Pencils and then get some Liquid Bandage.
-
Believe it or not Afrin nasal spray will stop the bleeding and fast. Just a soak a cotton ball in it and aplly to the cut and pretty soon no more bleeding. Burns like hell but it works.

Thanks for the tip Mongo!

Sweet advice Mongo...how in the world did you figure that one out?
-
There are some strange remedies floating around out there - and they work!. I plan to file this one away and try it some day. Does it work on your face when shaving?
-
Well Afrin is a vaso contrictor which in laymen's terms means it shrinkis stuff like blood vessels that's how it works to clear your nose soif it shrinks down the stuff that cloge your nose up the it's gotta shrink those little blood vessels down and help to stop the bleeding. Just remember that it burns like a SOB on those cuts
-
I have to try that next time. I always keep a bottle of that stuff around. I always do a number around my ears.
-
I was just reading in a magazine that applying a que-tip with some deoderant works due to the aluminum? Not sure if it really works, but next time I get the opportunity I'll give it a go.
-
You can bust out the super-glue as well. I would be lying if I said I ever used it on my head, but I use it all the time on cuts I get anywhere else. Works like a charm.
Truth is...I almost never cut my head. I think I only have a few times in many years of shaving. Most of that was the first few times.
-
I use cold water and then an alum block and if that isn't enough a styptic pencil. (on my face just the cold water splash usually is enough to stop any litle nick)
-
Toilet paper worked for me, the couple of times I cut myself. Very rarely happens, and i'm not exactly cautious when I shave.
-
Try rinsing your head under cold water and then applying an ice cube directly to the cut.
-
welcome to the sly guys bbc. the tricks the other guys mentioned seem to work. i don't get nicks very often anymore. but the cold water right before leaving the shower seems to work wonders. enjoy the site.
-
Welcome to the group, Bald by Choice! I love that cold water trick.
-
There are some really great tips here for stopping the bleeding. I like the Afrin Nasasl Spray idea. Because I almost always cut my head, I have to shave at night so I don't show up at work with my head wrapped in toilet paper. I usually heal pretty quickly and I think it is because I take a Daily Men's Multi-Vitamin that is high in Zinc and Vitamin E. I know Zinc helps w/skin healing and E helps w/scarring.
-
Tried the deoderant thing, worked suprisingly well.
-
;D On the two rare occasions that I nicked myself, I found the touch of a q-tip soaked with hydrogen peroxide did the trick. After that, a once-over with Bald Guyz Moisture Gel and I was ready to go. By the way, anybody notice the number of baldies in the congregation, chorus, clergy, and orchestra during the obsequies for President Ford on Tuesday? Professor Melon
-
Has anyone tried bat guano?
-
Ahhhh... the ever present nick and blood!
For me, I just apply a little pressure to stop the bleeding. I used to use different stuff until my sister (who has done a ton of research in wound care) said that H2O2 (that's hydrogen peroxide... I wanted to sound smart since I'm following a post by the prof ;D), antibiotic creams, and such actually do more harm than good to your body by killing/cleaning out the good bacteria along with the bad.
She told me in the case of small cut or nick, the best thing is just press on it with my finger until the bleeding stops.
-
BAT GUANO???????? rob, you really need to get some oxygen. the cold air is going to your head. j/k brudda.

Bat guano would be a good social interaction deterrent. Don't think it would be good for much else though. Other than fertilizer that is

Isn't Guano a tropical fruit? ;D
Hey Pig Pen, you were right. The HeadBlade products were awesome. No cuts with the HB Classic and the HeadSlick was outstanding.

if i remember correctly from the carlsbad caverns trip. Bat Guano = Bat crap. but i could be mistaken. it has happened once before.

You are absolutely correct! It's the one thing I remember from my tour of Shasta Caverns when I was in grade school. That and stalactites and stalagmites.

Guano could be considered a byproduct of tropical fruit
Another satisified customer! Thanks for the update Schro!

I cut my ear today but I'm not sure how...LOL. I think it was with the blade on the end of the Fusion, as that's what I use to clean up around the ears. I got out of the shower and there was blood all down the side of my face when I looked in the mirror. I thought, "WOW, that must be a big cut, but I didn't even feel it." Then I saw a tiny little cut on the top, front of my ear. I was amazed at how much blood came out of that little thing. But, it stopped quickly.
-
Now that I've clippered it down to pre-shave length, my wife spotted a small mole on the back of my head.
Seems to me this could be a potential blood-gusher.
Any tips on how to navigate that puppy? Do tell.
-
BE CAREFUL. i have two. they got used to it quick. or a doctor can remove it. good luck. now hurry up and shave that thing.

I figured I had to be careful...Details, Paul, Details.....go around it? go over it EXTREMELY gently?....toss me a bone, here ;)
-
...now hurry up and shave that thing.
I'm sofa king ready

I have one that is flat enough that I just went over it gently. I hit it and it bled, but after a couple times, the blade just glides over it. I have an appt w/ a dermotologist in Feb. I'm going to have them look at it plus a couple others. They would probably recommend you not run it over, but what's done is done.
Just shave already........if you need to go around it, go around it, but shave already. ;D
-
Just shave already........
I'm sofa king ready.
Will take the Fusion to it when the wifey-poo gets home from church......she really wants to shave it and asked if I would PLEASE wait. And being the solid, stand-up, fair and peaceable....one hellova nice guy that I am.......SCREW HER!
j/k...Here's the process so far http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=651.msg8136;topicseen#msg8136

I am on blood thinners for heart problems...Just had a heart attack a few days ago. Well, now I will only use an electric razor because I am scared to cut myself with a blade, something I used to do often. I use a philishave triple head type razor. Works well, perhaps not as close and soft to the touch, but looks no different when I am done.
-
Sorry to hear about your heart problem.
I've also been on blood thinners for the past 25 years or so, so I can relate to your concerns.
Cuts or bruising of any sort can get really messy, but you learn how to live with it.
These days I shave my head daily with a razor, (HeadBlade ATX), have been doing so for over a month now and only experienced one small nick, and that was on a mole.
Believe me the clean smooth feeling of a well shaved dome more then compensates for the worries of a nick or 2, just be careful, and proceed lightly.
-
Just thought I might add that I also use, on the rare occasion I cut myself a product called "Quick blood stopper".
This is a styptic powder used by veterinarians that I just happened to have on hand because I enjoy animals, I just apply a bit of the powder using a Cue-tip and problem solved, no more bleeding.
-
Thanks for the advise NoPony...I really have quite a few scars and bumps from old work and sports injuries...so I have to be careful. I will pick up some of that stop bleed stuff...good idea. O0
