Few things are more unsightly than a bloody nick on a freshly shaved face--except for a bloody nick with tissue clumped over it. Here's how to remedy shaving mishaps sans tissue.

on 8/8/2006 I cut (nicked a mole) myself this morning, toilet papered my face and came to work - well, 3 hours later the nick was still bleeding. Supplies here are scarce, but I had shaving cream - made me look like more of a schmuck than the TP for a while before realizing that it doesn't work - then tried the sugar- doesn't look as bad and worked like a charm.

on 6/11/2007 I sliced myself pretty severely just above the upper lip this morning and tried to stop the bleeding with a styptic preparation, pressure, neosporin ointment, and tissue paper but the wound continued to drip blood. Straight hydrogen peroxide applied to the cut stopped the bleeding instantly and sealed it off. Another use for hydrogen peroxide!

on 3/13/2006 A friend's mom who is a nurse shared this tip with me:
If you've shaved 10 minutes before a date and you look in the mirror to see a bloody mess, this is what you do:
Allow the tip of a towel to run under hot water for a second or two. Gently press and hold the tip to the bleeding area for 5 seconds or so. Do not rub. Repeat 4 or 5 times or until the bleeding has stopped.
