I don't think you can get a better answer it is a bit technical. Why ask the same question twice? You are not going to bleed out from a small cut from shaving. Unless you are some kind of closet cutter that enjoys cutting himself I don't think you are going to have to worry at all you won't notice a difference. Stop worrying about it. Here is the best answer I think you can get.
AAS can cause a number of changes in the hematological system that affect blood clotting. The effect is variable however. Therapeutic use is known to increase plasmin, antithrombin III, and protein S levels, stimulate fibrinolysis (clot breakdown) and suppress clotting factors. The effects of AAS on prothrombin time are generally of no clinical significance to healthy people using these drugs in therapeutic dosages. If you are taking anticoagulants (blood thinners) you could have problems.
AAS abuse on the other hand is linked to increases in blood clotting ability. AAS drugs can elevate levels of Thrombin and C-reactive protein, as well as thromboxane A2 receptor density. This can support platelet aggregation and the formation of blood clots. There has been an increasing number of cases where (sometimes fatal) blood clots, embolisms, and strokes have occurred in steroid abusers.
Much of what I just stated can be found in William Llewellyn's Anabolics 10th edition (a must have for any steroid user IMO). Hope that helps explain what you are refering to.
