This review is from: Colonel Ichabod Conk Styptic Pencil (Health and Beauty)
Received the first one broken during shipping. Seller quickly replaced it with a new one wrapped more carefully, which arrived in good condition. I set the item next to my bathroom sink where I shave. It was brushed lightly and dropped 6 inches into the the sink (the cap was still on). I removed the lid and it had broken at the base. Nice idea to have a "chapstick" size styptic pencil, however the stick diameter (approx. 1/4 in.) is too small to have sufficient strength for anything but the most gentle use. Get something a bit bigger. I would suggest the manufacturer make a tapered stick so the base diameter is larger.
