Can anyone recommend really good nail scissors

I bite my finger nails Blush so I’m just looking for good nail scissors for my toes. In 40 odd years I haven’t found any really good ones. Any ideas please?

I bought a men's nail kit from the post xmas sales a few years ago. It's tweeers, scissors and nail clippers. I think it was about £8 or maybe £4. It's great.

I used to bite my nails and used the little scissors on my swiss army knife, also from the Boots post-xmas sales to trim off any snaggy bits.

I also kept a nail file handy at all times.

I now have talons.

Took about 6 months to stop the nailbiting after decades of having a bad habit.

Thank you @UrsulaTitchener I’m not sure what I’m still biting them after all these years. I hate the feeling of anything gritty under my nails (sugar, sand etc) and wonder if that’s why I never cracked the habit.

I’ll have a look at men’s scissors thanks

For toe nails scissors are useless clippers much better.

I was a nail biter until I was 15 and read an article with pictures of under your finger nails - that was the only thing that might me go - fuck that I’m not doing it every time I felt the urge I looked at the pictures and I haven’t bitten them since

The scissors you get on swiss army knives are great for trimming nails - as they haven't got finger rings they're easy to use in either hand.

I’ve always used nail clippers and recently bought some from Tweezerman which are nice and sturdy.
