Yeah, but shark skin is like sandpaper. Especially rough when rubbed "against the grain"

I don't know what you're talking about buddy, shark skin is slick and smooth for hydrodynamic porpoises.

No you were probably feeling the Sandpaper Shark, which is actually a species of fish, not shark. Sharks are smooth.
