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.

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.

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

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.
