Home Remedies for Shaving Cuts?

:shrug:

I nicked my face pretty badly while shaving Sat. Night. It hurt like hell too.

I haven't shaved since to give my face some time to heal.
However, it still looks pretty bad. It's like so scabbed over. I haven't touched it or anything.

Does anyone have any advice, tips, home remedies that make shaving cuts heal faster???? :shrug:


I heard cocoa butter works but I use that on my face everyday as it is.

Any advice is needed. Thanks.

:hi:

The gel inside the plant helps skin heal.

Thanks for the tip though. :hi:

but fight have to pick some up tommorrow.
I will look into it. I've never heard to use that but it's suppose to help heal wounds so why not a scab?!?! :shrug:



Thanks for the advice. :hi:

I misread your posting. I thought you were going to talk about shaving "cats." I love looking at cats with those funny looking hair cuts.

:rofl:

gotta cut back on the aspirin.

Jeez, this cut was bleeding enough. It was all over the place.
I can't imagine how your cuts bleed then. :scared:

Alum has astringent properties (it closes pores), and has been used by men for years to help heal shaving nicks.

right after I cut myself but it seemed like it got worse after I did that.

Ok, stupid question but---

You can buy this alum in a store right??? Is it a liquid or solid??
I guess I should Google.

Thanks. :hi:

It's great for canker sores too! If I'm not mistaken it's used in making homemade pickles.

I might have to look at that.

Wow, I am getting so much good advice. :hi: :hug:

Shaving alum is a powdered form of alum used as an astringent to prevent bleeding from small shaving cuts. The styptic pencils sold for this purpose contain aluminium sulfate or potassium aluminium sulfate. Similar products are also used on animals to prevent bleeding after nail-clipping.

Crystal deodorant: Alum was used in the past as a natural underarm deodorant in Mexico, Thailand, and the Far East and in the Philippines where it is called Tawas. It is now commercially sold for this purpose in many countries, often in a plastic case that protects the crystal and makes it resemble other non-liquid deodorants.

Alum powder, found amongst spices at most grocery stores, is used in pickling recipes as a preservative, to maintain crispness, and as an ingredient in some play dough recipes. It is also commonly cited as a home remedy or pain relief for canker sores.

Water treatment: Alum (aluminium sulfate) is used in water treatment. The addition of alum to raw water causes small particles and colloids to stick together form heavier particles (floc) which will settle in water. This process is called coagulation.

And many more.

Thanks! :hi: :hug:

used to give it to me for cankor sores when i was little but I never knew, these days, where in the store you could find it. :hi:

who doesn't have experience shaving faces, but does have experience shaving legs... shave around it as close as you possibly can. :D

Otherwise just put some Neosporin on it and let it heal on its own.

:P :) ;)

Unlike you ladies, who could wear pants, us men have to suffer through shaving cuts and have everybody stare at us. It's not fun. :cry:

;) :D

:P ;) :)


Well I can't wear a ski mask! :P ;)

I use cocoa butter for tattoo aftercare. :hi:

My big test is tommorrow. I need to shave before I go to work. Hoping for the best!
