go to a restaurant supply store and buy finger cots. they are basically little tiny condoms that fit on your finger. you want the heavy restaurant grade rubber, not the cheap ones that CVS sells. you can buy a box of 1000 for maybe $15 - $20. i have been using them for many years, and i never cut my fingers on the braid. you also get a much better grip on the braid than using the old school leather finger guards or tape will EVER give you! everyone i have shown them to has gone out and bought some of their own.
