I hope I,m doing this right. Just got on line and Ihave been trying to post this all week. I will catch on. In resonds to toenail trimming ,I have found only a hand full of people do it right. No matter what brand of clipper they use. Out of 100 people, 1 person will trim nails the correct way. Technique is the key word here. Forward or backward your clipper may be,but when you close the blade it must be VERY FAST and YOUR HAND MUST BE VERY STILL. People have a tendence to pull their hand away from the foot at the same time their cutting the, there for they are cutting and RIPPING at the same time. Next time you trim the nails pay close attention to your technique.
