The Art of Manliness Continued Apply ���rm pressure over the wound. Get a Kleenex and press down on the point where the bleeding is the most severe. Hold for ���ve minutes. If the bleeding stops, clean the wound with hydrogen peroxide and an antibiotic cream, like Neosporin, to prevent infection. (You don���t want your name added to the list of men who have died from shaving.) If necessary, apply a band-aid over the wound.Yes, you���ll look silly, but it���s a small price to pay to learn and master the ���ne art of shaving like your great-grandpa. Pinch and hold the bleeding area. If ���rm pressure for ���ve minutes doesn���t stop the bleeding, use your thumb and index ���ngers to pinch the skin together from which the blood is ���owing.That should help close the vessel. If bleeding stops, clean, and apply antibiotic ointment. Bandage if necessary. Apply pressure directly above and below the wound. If pinching doesn���t work and bleeding is still heavy and steady, try pressing down ���rmly on your skin directly above and below the wound. Go to the hospital. If none of the above works, and you���re still bleeding like a stuck pig, have someone take you to the emergency room.You���re probably going to need stitches. At least you���ll have a cool scar on your face. Just don���t tell people you got it while shaving.> JOBS for TEAMS | 36 JobsForTeams0313_manliness.indd 4 www.jobsforteams.com 2/4/13 9:00 AM
