Blutstillstift

My razor slipped under my jaw this morning and this pencil sealed the nick almost instantly, no burning like I remember from the cheaper ones. The astringent effect really does close the pores right after, which makes the whole shave feel cleaner.

Finally, a proper styptic pencil that actually does what it says. After a nick or two with my straight razor, one swipe closed the pores and sealed the cut within seconds. No stinging beyond a quick, sharp pinch. It’s earned a permanent spot in my travel kit.

It's not a magic wand, but it stops the bleeding almost instantly on those tiny nicks around my chin. The astringent feel is a quick sting that fades fast, and it keeps the pores tight right after I rinse.
