i simply can't

the filing feeling makes me wince

nope and i use toe nail clippers for both my toes and fingers lol

don't you just love when you have to open a can of soup or smth just after trimming ur nails

Yea but I find myself having to file my nails much more regularly than clipping them so I get lazy

just the idea of how a nail file might feel is enough to keep me from using one

same

i completely understand why dogs bellow and scream during manicures lol

right after i clip em yeah, i file the edges

Nope!

On a related note, how did humans ever manage before the nail clipper?

oh they just let their malnutrition keep their nails nice and short

just imagine if teeth grew continuously like nails and you had to take a tooth file to them every six weeks or so

I wouldn't mind. My teeth are in kinda bad shape tbh and some new growth would be nice

interesting

What happens if you don't file afterwards?

sometimes the little corner that inevitably gets made by the cuts i make can get inadvertently picked at which can become a slightly jagged edge which could then get peeled back past the nail bed which is a BITCH. probably won't happen but it makes me uncomfy and feel like it could happen.

I should add: I trim my nails every 4-5 days. If they grow out to the point where any kind of dirt can get trapped underneath them, it makes me really uncomfortable. Apparently this is normal for bass players.
