My bro is a plumber. In the winter, his hands look like a dried cracked lake bed. D:

He should look into some good breathable disposable gloves

I used to work in a Genetics lab and I know how much gloves suck but they prevent hands from mutating.

Shens. Not cut nails but they look like nice work.:thumbsup:

Those were just an image I found because most people have no idea what the basic difference is. I have a supplier who does make them by hand. They are $$, but when details count I think it's a good way to go.

This manly man stuff is a laugh. Good grooming is no big deal. If you were chatting it up with some chick at a bar and you noticed that her nails were all chewed up, you would think she was some sort of skank. But guess what? She's looking at your hands and thinking that you probably don't wipe your ass after taking a dump.

So what's the big hassle with cutting your nails? Do you trim your toenails? If you don't you're gonna have some babe throw you out of her bed when you gouge her legs with your gorilla toes.

I usually use cut nails for furniture or where nails would be prominent anyway.

I think they look pretty good.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking about hardware.

I trim mine to be smooth and curvy so they won't snag on other things, especially the keyboard. To me it's a matter of convenience and comfort.

Add me to the bite em till they bleed group. Ended up in the ER with blood poisoning a couple of years back because of a nasty ingrown that got infected because I kept biting it.

My front bottom teeth are all chipped because of this too. One would think I'd break the habit...nah I'm kind of fuct up like that.

Its not hard, you just trim with nail clippers and on a regular basis.

The last thing any girl wants is some mongoloid with gross dirty nails. She may get turned on if she sees you working on a car or something all filthy, but it comes time for business she's not going to want your grubby nails all up in her.

You probably meant Africoid or Caucasoid 'cuz Mongoloids are more evolved monkeys.

Mostly mine stay nice and smooth from clawing my way out of the restraints each morning.
