PotD: do u use a nail filer

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i simply can't

the filing feeling makes me wince

[strongbad]

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

[Kalahari Inkantation]

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

[ME##]

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

[Samus Aran]

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

[Mando Pandango]

right after i clip em yeah, i file the edges

[YPrrrr]

Nope!

[Kalahari Inkantation]

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

[Samus Aran]

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

[Kalahari Inkantation]

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

[Kalahari Inkantation]

right after i clip em yeah, i file the edges

interesting

What happens if you don't file afterwards?

[Mando Pandango]

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.
