Try this, if you're right handed:

Take a piece of paper. Draw a mildly wavy line over it from one side

Take a pair of good, sharp right-handed scissors in your left-hand.

Cut the paper in two, following the line.

You'll find there's a blade in the way of you seeing the line to make
an accurate cut.

Yes, I admit I wasn't thinking through all the issues - thanks.

Since I have never found a pair of scissors that adequately cut paper in
a dead straight line, I always uses a steel rule and a fresh blade in
the Swann Morton.

Having no access to a guillotine these days..:-(

Has any one esse put a phone book in an industrial strength metal
guillotine?
