The only pair I treat with TLC are my Nogent scissors. I keep Ginghers and Clover in the kitchen, desk, and craft supplies for everyone to use. No looking for the good scissors anymore. Nothing is more frustrating then having a cheap pair of scissors to open a package or cut a clothes tag out. I have lots of different brands and they are used for paper or fabric, whatever I pick up first. I think if I used the same pair of scissors they would go dull fast but having an assortment the same pair is seldom used twice in a row or even more then two or three times a year.
