Totally misread the thread title and thought that you were being outrageously rude there Ingleby.Any good tips for stemming the flow?
Styptic pencils were a thing when I was a kid, do they still exist/ work? Obviously that won’t help right now
Hmm, I bleed like a stuck pig, this works for nicks......As above, bit of tissue or toilet paper. Remember to take it off before you go out
Old fashioned single blade yes, took it up a about five years ago after reading on here. Actually cut very rarely compared to’Gilette 2 blade/ 3 blade /4 blade‘ etc but if I do cut it’s a slice, usually through carelessness as tonight, I’d shaved and for some reason my hand went back and sliced my chin without checking with me first
Just grow a beard mate. That's what I've done during lockdown. I just wish that it was the same colour as the hair on my head but you can't have everything your own way I suppose. Makes it easier to pretend that you're still young if you can't really see most of the lines and the wrinkles on your face anymore.
Thanks lads, ordered a pack of these to try. I do remember from my youth styptic stuff stings like buggery but it’s worth a go....
I’ve tried the beard, had it for a few years and then obviously the shaved face, I’m about 50/50 Mrs prefers the beard. Maybe I should do beard for winter plumage and shaved for summer
I'm pleased that neither yourself or Boro Legend felt the need to ridicule me for being a bum faced man with a beard. I was expecting to get pelters for that. I'd give it another go if I were you mate. It'll save you a lot of grief and probably a lot of blood loss too by the sounds of things you clumsy sod.Thanks lads, ordered a pack of these to try.

I only slice myself open about once every nine months or so and blood letting is a thing in some cultures.
I've got a proper Brian Blessed style beard going on right now. Completely grey though, even though the hair on my head is still dark. The dog barely recognises me these days. I wouldn't get too involved in that whole idea of blood sacrifice if I were you fella. I've seen where that can lead and it isn't pretty.I only slice myself open about once every nine months or so and blood letting is a thing in some cultures.
So is bumface short for bumfluff face
