It isn’t the paper that dulls scissors, it’s the silica in white paper. Craft paper is fine. Although cardboard is brown it’s also full of dirt and will dull your scissors in one fell snip.

They probably laid off the guy behind the curtain.

Absolutely it does. I work with chalk and know exactly what you’re talking about. The super treatment is to lube up and wear cotton gloves. Really works quick.

When I get a cut on my hands and they are very dry my skin heals over the wound, but the wound still stays there. Callouses just kind of grow over it and it gets painful and shitty. I put a glob of Vaseline on it and cover it with a bandaid or something and I a few days it’s back to normal.
