I've only needed to use a styptic twice. The first time (2nd day of wet shaving) I had to use tissue. Then wet the dark red patch of paper, carefully peel off, and then re-apply a second piece of paper. Then go to the store and buy a styptic pencil.
The first day I had a weeper that had stopped by the time I finished shaving. The second day I hit the same spot, much better the second time around, or worse assuming the goal is to remove hair and not blood.
