I’m wondering what brands and types of files you guys use, specifically for shaping on top (not free edges). I was doing pretty OK with some cheaper ones and replacing them frequently, but I found them very hard to season without pulling off the good edge.

I have come across the ones that are metal and the grit comes on disposable sheets, so you just apply them to the metal and can peel them off when they’re no good any longer. Has anybody tried those?

I have one Makartt file that has lasted longer than any other file, but now I’m looking at other options and wondering what types you guys use. I use glass for edges but I want to update my shaping game for when I use thermals and can’t use my e-file to shape.

Thanks babes!

Did not turn out like I wanted unfortunately, I had hoped the flamingos would be a little more visible. I think if I had done a matte finish on the pink it would have given me the right effect, but whatever. Ended up pretty cute anyway! Ignore my war wound on the ring finger, I started shaping without seasoning my new file 🙄
