About the same for me. Banjo don't like long nails.

About every five or six days. More important for me is to inspect daily for hangnails and snip them off before they cause bother.

I have OCD and cut mine everyday, small trim really. If I don't I get very anxious and start feeling terrible
Just here to lurk and cringe at my old posts now.

Never, unfortunately. Mine grow too long to be tolerable, and too short to be clipped.
