you can get sticks from pet shops, Zinc I think, that are used to stem the blood flow if you cut the animals quick when you trim their nails. Might work. I gave up shaving coz I cut myself too much- why not try waxing or depilatory cream instead?

Depends how bad the cut is, usually just a piece of damp tissue until the flow ebbs - but remember to take it off your face before you go anywhere. Don't use dry tissue otherwise it will stick and then when you pull it off it will start bleeding again.

You still can't beat a piece of tissue/toilet paper. Always works.

you can get this very clever stuff in a spray can that is completely transparent and acts like a plaster. it will stop the bleeding and you can leave it on unlike tissue paper without anyone noticing. you can use it on all other types of cuts or grazes in the same way you would use a plaster - highly recommended

put pressure on it for about 2 minutes to allow the blood to form a clot. You will have a red clotted blood formation on your skin, but i think that is better than those white toilet paper pieces becasue when you rip those off you start to bleed and you have to reapply pressure to form a new clot becasue the clot was ripped off. So you actually save a stel if you just apply the pressure. :)

Traditional to use bits of tissue.

But try not to cut yourself in the first place. Use a decent razor.

I don't think there is a way. You just have to wait about an hour or so until your body decides that maybe bleeding to death from a shaving wound is unacceptable! You could try burning the wound though but this might lead to scaring!

The only way to stop a cut bleeding quickly is to dry out the top layer of blood that is why using bits of tissue paper is most effective. Hope you don't mind me sending this tip but if you apply baby oil to your face fifteen minutes before shaving it softens the hair which reduces the blade snagging on your skin therefore reduces the risk of cuts. Also using hair conditioner (i know it sounds crazy) instead of shaving foam. Get your stubble/hair as soft as you can for a more comfortable shave.
