People start by lightly tapping and cracking the shell. Then they use various tools like tweezers, toothpicks, cuticle pushers and metal blemish extractors to help them get the shell removed piece by piece.Medical practitioners have long partaken in this exercise, as it provides them with the skills to operate on wounds and surgeries.
