How To Prevent Nicks & Cuts When Shaving With A Safety, DE or Cartridge Razor & How To Treat Them

About this video

The Gazette team teaches how to prevent and treat nicks and cuts from wet shaving. They outline nine prevention strategies—from using double-edge razors instead of cartridge systems to maintaining proper shaving technique—and then demonstrate how to treat inevitable cuts using a styptic balm called Glyder, which they recommend as an improvement over traditional styptic pencils.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that cartridge razors cause more nicks and cuts than double-edge razors because the blades dull quickly, forcing frequent replacement
• Proper shaving technique involves nine core practices including pre-shave preparation, using a shaving brush, quality products, fresh sharp blades, and allowing your skin time to adjust to sharp blades
• The Gazette team recommends Glyder styptic balm for treating cuts because it comes in an easy-to-use tube, contains soothing ingredients like argan oil and aloe vera, and avoids harsh alcohol found in traditional styptic pencils
