James gained ITEM: SHAVING NEWSPAPER (minus 10 Damage)

One of my little first aid tips for home use. I did not know this until the other day when my boss introduced me to the idea. I cut myself shaving quite often and I'd always been taught to hold some paper towel over the cut until it stopped by itself. As it turned out I was doing it wrong.
  
What you need for a shaving cut, as my boss revealed to me, is newspaper. Seriously, something about the particular paper stock they use not only stops the bleeding really fast it also seems to help the healing process a little.
  
Don't use the Daily Mail, though, you might catch something.

I did not know that. I do know that newspaper is fabulous for making glass sparkle however.

Cheers for that, Sally, I've got some of my gran's old ornaments and I'll try that out.
