 Antiseptic Healing Ointment – seems to work |
A nasty stack a few weeks ago has taken a fair chunk of skin from my wrist and fingers. Thanks to St. John’s I was gathered up and off to hospital. Problem was they’d already dressed my wounds and the pain only increased (10 fold) as the Band Aids were taken off… ow.
N.B. – don’t wear a watch (especially a metal one) when riding, they can really hurt!
Anyway, a few days later, a chance meeting with Trystan from Rapha USA was a lucky one. He handed me a tube of Brave Soldier Antiseptic Healing Ointment, he knows the guys that run the company and they have a stack of good stuff for road rash, cuts and bruises – He never leaves home without some. Plus they do ‘men’s products’ like shave cream and moisturiser… So, I kept applying the stuff daily and within a few days the soreness and itchy feeling was a lot less and it does seem to have healed quicker than previous grazes and road rash.
As their website states:
“The original product in the Brave Soldier line, Antiseptic Healing Ointment was formulated specifically to speed the healing of road rash. A unique blend of healing botanicals and powerful pharmaceuticals helps wounds heal up to 40% faster and greatly reduces the chance of scarring. Tea tree oil, one of nature’s strongest antiseptics, combines with jojoba oil and vitamins in a soothing balm ideal for treating sports injuries as well as everyday cuts, scrapes and abrasions.”
Brave Shave is the shaving cream from Brave Soldier and it’s a lot like Clinique Mens shave cream (for those familiar with poncy men’s grooming products) It lasts for ages and gives a great finish (by the way its for your chin, not your legs!) They also do a shower shave if you need help with your leg fuzz.
