American International Industries

American International Industries brings together well-known personal care and grooming names under one manufacturer, and this collection features their trusted barber and shaving essentials. If you've ever nicked yourself shaving, you already know why a product like the Clubman Styptic Pencil earns a permanent spot in the medicine cabinet.

The Clubman Styptic Pencil (0.33 oz.) is a classic for a reason. Made with mineral astringents, it stops minor bleeding from razor cuts, nicks, and small scrapes almost instantly. You simply moisten the tip and apply it directly to the cut — the astringent contracts the skin and seals the wound, which is exactly what barbers have relied on for generations. It's compact enough to keep in a shaving kit, travel bag, or gym locker, and a single pencil lasts a long time because so little is needed per application.

Shoppers often ask whether a styptic pencil is the same as an alum block or a liquid styptic: the pencil is the most portable and precise of the three, letting you target a single spot without treating the whole face. It's a staple for anyone who wet-shaves with a safety or straight razor, but it's just as useful for everyday household nicks.

If you're stocking a grooming or first aid shelf, you may also want to compare products from other manufacturers we carry, including Aaron Industries and American Associated Companies. For those looking specifically for injection and specimen supplies, note that International Medical Industries Inc is a separate manufacturer despite the similar name.
