Nicks and Cuts usually occur due to inattention, razor slips, or the use of disposable razors or razors with non-swivel heads.
What Causes Nicks & Cuts?
Nicks and Cuts usually occur due to inattention, razor slips, or the use of disposable razors or razors with non-swivel heads. These stiff razors make it hard to accurately follow the contours of the face and to monitor pressure accordingly, thus facilitating the territory for bloody slip-ups. Use razors with a swivel head and well-balanced handle.
Relief for Nicks and Cuts
Moisten tip of Styptic Pen or Alum Block with cold water and apply to cut until bleeding stops. Once cut is closed, apply The Art of Shaving After-Shave Gel or Balm to face. Dab on, instead of rubbing in, to avoid re-opening cut. To minimize future nicks and cuts, lubricate and protect skin before and during shaving. Use The Art of Shaving Pre-Shave Oil and rich-lathering Shaving Cream. Always make sure blade is sharp and clean.
