Neo-Synephrine nasal decongestant spray (the rapid-acting kind made with phenylephrine, not the long-acting oxymetazoline variety) decongests nasal passages by rapidly constricting the blood vessels in them. The same action makes it one of the most effective ways of stopping nicks from bleeding virtually instantly. Just invert the spray bottle and squeeze a drop onto your fingertip and press it to the nick. Tada!

Listerine works a charm for me! Or you can always try hydrogen peroxide. It helps out stopping bleeding with plenty of cuts!

Since 1994 I’ve been using this shave oil without any nicks, cuts or razor burn. Why put up with it!

Hmmmmm, not a being a fan of petrochemicals i stay away from Vaseline and mineral oil. And then there is the alum which does a number on our nervous system, i know that i don’t want to rub that stuff under my arms never mind into an open wound. And lastly talc which has similar properties to asbestos, and has been known to cause tumors in the lungs- We need some healthy organic examples here people! I use tea tree oil mixed with some lavender essential oil and apply it with a cotton swab. Does the job real well! good luck bleeders!

Actually, fair play to you; it has stopped bleeding. I recant my last comment.

I shave in the shower. All that hot water and steam really helps. I wash my head, rinse, then lather up. I leave the lather on while I wash the rest of my body. Then while I move around and let the spray rinse the soap off, I shave.

Works like a charm. If I ever DO cut myself (rarely), I use “My Nik Is Sealed”.

I straight razor shaved just after I woke up once…haha…first aid in the bathroom that morning. However, it was like a dose of noob-b-gone. Me and my razor got along great after that.
