  Are you reading the same thing I’m reading? Literally every search result describes shark skin as dermal denticles, or sharp tooth-like scales aligned from front to back, “relatively smooth” in one direction, and sandpaper-like in the other.

  Apparently other animals regularly injured brushing up against them.

    Well, I’m touching a shark right now. Rubbing it every which way. No direction is off limits. It’s smoother than the finest silks

      But other question, is shark wet?

        Presumably their skin doesn’t absorb or hold water much, if at all. So shark is probably dry
