I like the look of clipping, but I don't do it myself right now.  The primary reason is as you say I think you need a proper clipper to make them look nice.  So I play with fuzzy corners and live in envy of those devoted enough to do proper trimming of counters.

Ask your wife if she has cuticle trimmers. The are great for removing the fuzzy corners and keep the corners sharp!

You appear to be advocating torturing counters!  Look at that torture implement.

Removing some fuzz is not equivalent to hacking off the corners.

Rounding. It's rounding the corners. Not attacking them like they are toenails.

There's a reason why sabres, and Oregon Lam cutters, are around. You know what to do with your cutters. As for sabres:

I do believe the Arch-Anti-Clipper has confessed to.... Clipping!

Sure, he tries to weael out of it be claiming it's "only the tip" or some such, but clipping is clipping.

Welcome back to the fold, Brother Bartheart.   ;)

It was only a matter of time before the solid reasoning, and some bitchin' peer pressure, convinced him to join us in widespread cardboard circumcision.

Even if it's of the unfortunately brutal sort, used by shaking & palsied old hands gripping brutal toe nail sheers.

So now we can move into Card Sleeves. Just bought my first pack of sleeves, I see they are highly addictive as well ...
