fingernail clipper?
 
Anybody know of a really good high quality fingernail clipper? Ours are dull and not ergonomically pleasing. (I'm serious now!)

Get a manicure? If the girl is hot and naked, it will be pleasing. :D:D

Nail beds are sensitive. I wouldn't trust anyone /w my fingernails, no matter how hot.

I used to even have problems with haircuts from a barber when I was a kid, used to be even more subject to sensory overload.

Revlon Compact Nail Clip : Target

Cheap and they don't leave a burred edge.

Now that is high quality! Do you fancy employing The Clk Man to come and chomp on your nails Tom?

How about it Robert? :P

Seriously, thanks for the leads. I'll think I'll give that seki a try....including the ingrown toenail one.;)

This got me thinking - the one I've had for years is made by Wilkinson Sword - their razors are dreadful these days though...

SwampYankee 07-18-2013 08:20 AM

As fast as we lose them, I'm glad we can get by with cheap ones!

This (or heavier) is what is required to get the father-in-law type's toe nails.

I am dead serious.

First time I helped trim his toe nails (the day before Darling Wife and I got married) it involved side cutters and a dremel tool.

I agree on the WS razors. I stick to Feather and Merkur for my DE.

Thick toenails are a potential diabetes symptom. Any other symptoms that might point toward being diabetic?


Tom,
Get a set of Revlons that look like pliers. They're around $20, and last forever. I got mine at the local store. I have the same set from 10 years ago

Toenails as well? :rolleyes:

The best nail clippers I've ever used are ones that my parents bring home from trips to Japan.

From what I can tell, the one that I have is a "cheap" one, but it has outlasted, and outperforms anything I've gotten from the local drugstore - which just crimp my nails and leaves a nasty edge when it does finally cut.

KarTek 07-18-2013 11:02 AM

I use a Trim Easy Hold toenail clipper for my finger nails. One, because they're larger and easier to use (less pressure) and two, the guard catches the trimmings and it's easy to just dump them in the trash when you're finished.

They all work pretty well when new. Try replacing them more than once in a generation and you probably won’t have problems.

t walgamuth 07-18-2013 12:00 PM

That is not the problem mr. smartypants.

^Cant tell that from the description you provided, mr. dullard.

Zulfiqar 07-18-2013 03:40 PM

stanley knife blade insert works like a charm. Make sure you trim them nails right after your shower/bath

I have used some really lousy fingernail clippers more than once. I too have wondered where I could spend a few bucks more to get a reliably decent unit.

For my toenails, I use a small drum sander, about 1/2" dia. in a dremel tool, dedicated for the task. My big toes have abnormally curved nails, very hard to clip them normally.

That's a first for me.;)

cmac2012 07-18-2013 06:34 PM

You should try it. Very reliable nail shortening on the toes. The corners had be easily softened with regular old scissors, or small ones such as on my Swiss Army knife anyway.

Stretch 07-19-2013 12:54 AM

Sounds like some of you need a farrier!

What?

My partner, the medical professional, suggested a “manicure kit” which is set of nail maintenance instruments that takes DIY nail maintenance to the next level. While not an expert our kit has files, 3 sizes of clippers, plus things to attack ingrown nails and to elevate nail tissue and other stuff. You can probably find a manicure kit at a drug store or maybe Macy’s.

Then there are medical/surgical instruments. You can find some of this stuff on Ebay. Search for medical or surgical clippers or scissors as examples. You’ll find all kinds of cool implements. There are several places that provide surgical supplies including what are called nail splitters.

Yeah, she is Vietnamese, "ergonomically" pleasing, very thorough and proficient, and does a great job, down to the buffing of them, at the end of the of the nail clipping. (Toenails clipped also.) Though, Roseville, CA is a bit far away from Indiana

Who says "real men don't get manicures" anyhow, and have to have their fingernails always bitten down and bleedy-looking?
