Nik-Aid was the best styptic product I've ever used. It was a small roll-on, and stopped all but the most serious shaving cuts immediately. It didn't leave any kind of film, like a lot of styptic products. It had a real slight sting when it was first applied, but not nearly as much as many other styptic products. It was sold exclusively at Wal-Mart for awhile, and then the company (Leib Research, I think) stopped making it. Wish I had known at the time...I would have bought up ever tube I could have found.
