Frequently Asked Questions
If you catch a nick while shaving, the process is straightforward: wet the tip of the crayon lightly with cold water and press it directly onto the cut for two to three seconds with gentle pressure. The aluminum sulfate acts immediately — it contracts the blood vessel and stops the bleeding far faster than waiting for it to close on its own. Rinse the area with cold water afterwards and you're done.
Yes, there's a brief stinging sensation — and that's completely normal, it means it's working. Aluminum sulfate is an astringent that reacts with the skin tissue to contract the blood vessel. The sensation lasts only a few seconds and fades quickly — far shorter than the time it would take for a nick to stop bleeding on its own. Most people barely notice it after the first few times.
Much longer than you'd expect. A standard styptic crayon can last for hundreds of uses — as long as you wet only the tip during application and don't leave it submerged in water. After each use, pat it dry and store it somewhere dry. For most men who shave regularly, one crayon will last many months before it needs replacing.
Yes — the hemostatic crayon works on any small cut or graze on the skin, not just shaving nicks. Many people keep one in the kitchen or bathroom for minor cuts from knives or other sharp objects. The application is the same: a little water, press onto the cut, hold for a few seconds. It doesn't replace proper wound care for larger injuries, but for small everyday cuts it's a fast and practical option.
It's a standard tool in any serious barbershop. The compact size, precise application and immediate action make it ideal for professional use — a barber applies it exactly where needed without losing time or causing the client more discomfort than necessary. In a busy barbershop environment, it's more practical than any alternative, and clients who do traditional wet shaving often recognise it immediately.

Crayon Styptic | Hemostatic Crayon for Shaving Nicks
Crayon Styptic is a hemostatic styptic crayon with aluminum sulfate — the classic solution for minor cuts after shaving that has been used for decades in professional barbershops and home grooming routines alike. Small, practical, and immediate in action: exactly what's needed and nothing more.
The formula works on a straightforward principle: aluminum sulfate is a natural astringent that, when applied wet to a small cut, contracts the blood vessel and stops bleeding within seconds. The crayon format allows precise, targeted application exactly where needed — without affecting the surrounding skin and without any waste. One crayon lasts hundreds of uses with proper storage.
Suitable for daily shaving, traditional safety razor shaving and professional barbershop use, the Crayon Styptic crayon is one of the most cost-effective and reliable shaving accessories you can add to your kit — whether you're a barber who needs a fast, clean solution between clients, or someone building a proper traditional wet shaving routine at home.
