Styptic pencil
Why is there an expiry date and a warnng not to exceed it on my styptic pencil?
Answers
Without thorough drying, alum styptic pencils degrade and fall apart quite rapidly. The pencil manufacturer s' rely on the this in order to sell more pencils - after all, most people will be too preoccupied in stopping the bleeding rather than taking care of the pencil afterwards.

If the active ingredient is nothing other than one of the "alums" (complex aluminium salts), then you can ignore the expiry date and warning. Alums last forever if they are kept dry.
However, if the pencil contains other ingredients, there may well be a reason for the warning depending on the nature of the substances.
Can you post an ingredients list?

Never heard of one of these before (so i Googled it).
Do they do the job well, or is it a like/dislike product. I'm asking as my father is a little shaky handed these days and will NOT stay away from his beloved (dreadfull) Bic razor. So as you can gather, TLC to his mush is regularly required.
Should i get him one of these Stytic pencil's or is there something thats better ?
