There are many aspects to a proper grooming process, and the finishing touches are the ones that are often easiest to overlook. Sure, you might have the best nail clippers, but do you follow those up with a nail filing routine? I sure hope so.

In my opinion, a stainless steel nail file is a far better-feeling and longer-lasting alternative to those cheap, disposable emery boards that make me shudder just thinking about them. The two sides of this file have different textures — a coarse one for the majority of your filing needs, and a smooth one for finishing those finer details.

The included leather carry case is a nice touch, and should keep the file well protected in your pocket, travel bag, or dopp kit.
