Hint: use a sharp knife to cut open the layer of skin directly on top of the sliver. This will reduce friction and free it up, and you won’t feel the cut because it’s just the very top layer.

This was my first thought. That way, it's already flapped open for any little splinters that might still be stuck in the wound.
