I trim my finger and toe nails with a pair of wire cutters. It's quick and effective. Does anyone else use home maintenance tools for personal care?

I'm 6'5" so reaching the toenails is always an issue. I use long handled wire cutters.

My father, born 1938;the old school. Very, very old school.
Last year he received a new denture. The thing did not feel right, irritated his gums, had an overbite. He fixed the problem in his workshop with metal files. As with pretty much everything Ivan does, the improved denture works perfectly now.

BTW I think such attitudes & practices give women hours of pleasure, laughing at us.

Titanium clippers…very, very carefully.

My OH borrows my 10 inch metal file for doing her nails sometimes, something I don't really fancy trying to emulate.

Rather than shave with an effete razor, I pound my whiskers *in* with a ball peen hammer and bite them off from the inside.

As with most technical projects that require skills or abilities I lack, I take my toenails to a professional. I do have the skills, and I used to have the ability, but they seem to have gotten farther from my eyes, and I can't quite coordinate holding binoculars and nail clippers at the same time.

A truly cringe-worthy thread. Carry on, chaps.

My bidet is on the fritz so I've been using the pressure washer. The substitution has worked well enough but my voice seems to have gone up a few octaves.

Sidecutters…weapon of choice for toenails.
