What used to be a fairy quick and mindless activity with an occasional weeper or maybe two is now a slow, careful ritual fraught with danger.

Wait until you get a nosebleed that takes a damn ER to get stopped. Blood thinners are the pits.

Why not go buy an electric razor?

Shaving nicks were irritating, but manageable with a styptic pencil nearby. How badly I'd bruise while on thinners is what got me.

I grow a neckbeard LOL
I popped myself on the upper lip last Saturday and it bled for nearly four hours (no styptic pencil). Didn't shave again until this morning and I can tell you that I was DAMN careful. I also used a less aggressive razor (Gillette Tech). |

This is going to sound a bit odd, but, the mildest and most forgiving and yet still give a good shave razor that I have found is a Shick injector that I picked up dirt cheap in an antique shop.
Mine has become my "in a hurry" razor. I still prefer my straights and my black tip Speed Shave but the silly little Shick does a good job when I don't have time for a proper shave. I actually find it hard to bleed with one without doing a serious no-no technique wise. MLG |

Do a search for styptic powder on amazon. I actually use a veterinary styptic product and it has worked fine on small nicks and cuts. I've been on blood thinners for 8 years. Another thing, if you are new to thinners, buy several Quik-Clot bandages and keep one in your car, at home, in your office and your briefcase. What I'm saying is keep one handy b/c stopping bleeding from even a minor cut can be a bitch when you're on thinners.

I have been on rat poison for a few years now.
I don't bruise and I don't bleed excessively from cuts. I do keep styptic pencils and QuikClot on hand.

I have stopped shaving for about a month. Getty nasty-looking. Tomorrow's the day along with a buzz cut.

Using a new blade it took me five passes to get the job done; fortunately no nicks, cuts, or weepers. Yay me.
I need to go to Bath & Body Works and get some more C.O. Bigelow shave cream tubes. I'm down to some Van Der Hagen hard soap and that stuff generally sucks. |

God is telling you to grow a beard Or learn how to soften the beard before shaving. Hot, wet washcloths are your friend. Those steaming hot clothes the barber put son your face before shaving are not just for show. |
