Hi.
I'm just into my first week clawhammering. Really enjoying it (I'm onto Jesse James in Ken Perlman) but my chosen middle fingernail is not long enough nor does it look like it's going to be particularly strong when it does grow. I've got some vitamins and creams which are supposed to promote healthy nails but at the moment I'm resorting to using a Fred Kelly Freedom Pick on the middle finger.
Are they widely used and will I get into a bad habit if I continue with it? I'd much rather use my nail but it's so quiet compared to the pick...
