whats the best way to stop shaving knicks from bleeding?

Answer 1

I had the same problem.
Then a new product came out.
the battery powered razor Gillette M3 Power
I thought it was a gimmick, but it actually works and I will not use anything else.

I used to nick myself every time I shave,
Now I may nick myself once a month or less so far I've gone 6 weeks without a nick.
Also I realized, I can go longer on a single cartridge.

Answer 2

Go to your local pharmacy or Wal-Mart and look in the shaving isle for a steptic stick. They are white and when nicked just wet the tip and apply directly to the cut. It is made to stop the bleed from razor nicks.

Answer 3

There's something called a styptic. It stops the bleeding immediately. My father had one and later I bought one for my son here in Switzerland. I'll see if I can find it on the Internet and get back to you.
Internet only gives purchasing addresses. I'm sure you can find it at your local pharmacy/chemists. Ask for a styptic pencil.

Answer 4

Pressure

Answer 5

Don't shave. But seriously, try the new Wilkinson, the commercial I saw claims you get your money back if you cut yourself shaving with it.

(I use Gillette Mach3 Turbo myself though)

Answer 6

a styptic pencil! You get them from mens barbers - they look like a small hard lipstick, you moisten the end and dab on the nick, stops it instantly! I mean instantly.

Answer 7

Buy an electric razor :D Or stop drinking the night before ;o)

Answer 8

Apply pressure to them with a bit of tissue or something, also putting a dab of tcp or aftershave can help

Answer 9
