UV LED On Toenail Fugus

These don't look ingrown. May not be real though..

Primates have human-like finger nails.

I get the impression that toe nails have been an annoyance for people for roughly 500 000 years. Clipping..sanding..clipping..sanding..clipping..

I have invented a new word: Fugus

Somehow the 'n' went missing for my post

But what could Fugus be?

Fugus: The ring on a table from a coffee cup. Fugus: The somewhat chewed area on the inside cheek. Fugus: When all prevention causes the problem. Fugus: Foam produced in the toilet after urinating.

May not be, but they're not broken either.

Guess why people clip them?

The funk in your brain after smoking some really good cannabis.

I'll bite? :-)

Neither, I file them. With a fat bastard, file that is. Bonus: the machine oil keeps my fingers supple. ;-)

I don't like the burr a clipper leaves. I always have to sand it off anyway. If I have sharp sandpaper around I'll just sand the whole thing.

fugu is the Japanese term for puffer fish,a potentially toxic meal they like to consume. (tetrodotoxin)

It might solve his gross,yucky toenail problem,permanently. :-(

Speaking of kinky!

I just didn't want to copy the rest of the "Clipping..sanding..clipping..sanding..clipping.." from DfBC. I use an emery board. The nail tends to shatter if I clip it with an anvil style clipper.

The whole thing?

For fingernails I use my little Swiss Army knife.

For toenails I have some nippers that approach bolt-cutter quality ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Xcelite cutters work well...

a Dremel and sanding drum will do fast work of your toenails. B-) fine grit should be best.

No, it does not. You should use a natural oil when you are filing natural items, ya dope.

Yes, a nice pair of flush mount wire nips do a better job than the best consumer "nail clippers" out there.

Yes and two second grinding bursts. Much longer and you risk rising to burn temperatures.

Aside from the fact that my file is actually completely dry (despite my insinuation), I usually use a mixture of paint thinner and bacon grease as cutting lubricant, so it's a bit of both really. Is that better? ;-)

it looks sexy on women, with nail polish.... :-D

On your skin? No, not really.
