Woltra Styptic Pencil Small, 0.25 oz

Hard to find. Works great.

It stops the bleeding

I have the terrible combination of a thick beard and very sensitive skin. For years, I didn't shave at all - just electric clippers. Now, I found an excellent double edge razor (Merkur 39C) and a couple perfect blades (Perma-Sharp, Astra SS, Shark SS). Still, my neck area often is tender after a shave. And every third shave or so, I get a tiny knick here are there. On rare occasions, usually due to trying a new blade, I even get razor bumps under the jaw line. I can say that these sticks take care of all three of these! Razor bumps less so, but definitely speeds the healing process. I will switch to a stone/block when I'm done with these. I use these like a block - dabbing knicks, but then gliding all over my face. Wish I used these my whole shaving life! For this price, give it a whirl. It may be a game changer for you as well.

What happened to styptic pencils? My mom used them for our nicks and cuts all the time as kids, but here i am 20years later (in Los Angeles no less) and I couldn't find them! I looked at CVS, Ralphs, Target-none of them! So when I found this product online, I was really happy. The great part of this product and styptic pencils in general is that they do two things, and they do them immediately, they disinfect and they stop the bleeding. Originally I began the hunt for these pencils for my dogs because every now and then I'll mess up and pull a Sweeney Todd on their claws by clipping just a little too close. Because their paws will immediately be back on the ground and in the yard I wanted to be sure not to leave them open to infection, and these did a really good job most of the time. The problem is that they have to be the right amount of wet and dry to work properly. If they are too wet, the residue is too diluted to seal and disinfect, and if they're too dry the powder won't rub off onto the wound, so that has definitely been a challenge. I haven't had the problem of the sticks eroding quickly as others have mentioned even though I've run them underwater probably more than most, but I do think that they can seal up over time. Meaning even if you do get the right amount of wet and dry, the outside will still be hard and simply not work anymore. Apart from that though, they're portable and incredibly convenient especially once you get the hang of the wet to dry ratio. The sting can be quite intense (and I have a pretty high tolerance), so you sort of just have to bite the bullet and go for it, but I still wouldn't recommend this product for smaller children because there WILL be tears, and I mean extra tears on top of the original ones. Overall I would recommend this product for people and pets due to the portability and effectiveness, but if you are looking to seal up a little one's boo-boo I'd look elsewhere for a less painful option. PROS: Portable, Convenient, Effective (when properly moistened), Can seal small nicks (like claw-tips on dogs or razor cuts) quickly CONS: Pencils can't be too wet or too dry which can take a bit to get the hang of, stinging can be rather intense, only works on small cuts TIPS: Great for nicked doggie claws, Do NOT use these for wounds that are bleeding any more than lightly as it will seal the top of the skin and cause the blood to pool under the skin (yuck!), trust me, I learned the hard way... ***Did you find this review helpful?
