[quote=@t2wave]I started carrying a nail file around. Any time I caught myself biting my nails I would stop and switch to the nail file. Eventually you'll learn to use the file. And just so you know I'm a guy so the whole looking pretty kind of thing didn't play a factor. [/quote] Similar solution is a small 3-function swiss army-knife's scissors can be used to trim toe and fingernails. And anvil (wood or metal) and knife/chisel or just about anything sharp can also be used to trim the nails more effectively than teeth, although I recommend the contact-chopping method where the bit of the blade makes gentle contact and one merely applies the necessary pressure to finish the cut. Being a swiss army knife, it had many other uses, such as removing splinters, cutting rope/cordage, stripping wires, re-assembling computers, and plucking bits of popcorn kernels out of your teeth. Oh, and tightening hose-clamps. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNl9M5TxGC8]Foster was trained well.[/url]
