A styptic also known as a haemostatic pencil basically is a small stick of medication, created from aluminium sulfate anhydrous, and is used for stop blood by causing blood vessels to bond at spot of the wound. Prior to safety razors being created, the styptic pencil was a vital component of the shaving kit and was often applied to seal cuts caused due to improper shaving, but still quiet a few people continue to use safety razors along with styptic pencils. Styptic pencils also come in handy for booking the blood flow while trimming a cat or a dog’s claws.
