Any tips for keeping the nails clean? There are some creative peoples.

My thumb & index finger nails are always blackened by snuff, snus & dip residue. When in the bathroom, I give them a quick swipe with a soapy nail brush, as needed. It works for me. YMMV

I’d been thinking I was doing it wrong. Hard to believe Beau Brummel would have tolerated black nails.

I’m sure his valet kept them in beautiful condition for him.

i just use the nail cleaner/screwdriver on the gerber dime multitool that never leaves my side.

I have the nail brush, sure, but this is a place where people use drinking straws to ensure best snuff placement. I thought for sure some genius came up with a perfect solution.

Get finger cots for fingers used in snuffing. http://www.all-spec.com/products/ESD-Safe\\_Garments|Gloves\\_and\\_Finger\\_Cots|GLO-00/?utm\\_content=2325711529&utm\\_source=bing&utm\\_medium=cpc&utm\\_campaign=ESD%20Garment&utm\\_term=fingercot

See, now that was what I was talking about. Little nail covers. We see all of the paintings and illustrations of great aristocrats presenting their snuff boxes to the company, all of whom had blackened fingernails. Condottieri like me, I can see. Cardinal Richelieu I can’t imagine.
