I hate to get pedicures. But, I have rough skin on the ball and heels of my feet, as well as on the bottom of both big toes. I tried softening the rough skin with gobs of lotion after showering and then quickly putting on socks, but I still had rough feet that snagged on our smooth bedsheets, and probably killed the “ooh-la-la” factor of playing footsie with my husband. Foot files didn’t work either, my arms would die of exhaustion before making a dent in my thick, rough skin.
So, I bought this callus shaver on amazon after reading the reviews. When I heard that this callus shaver was best used on wet feet, I tried to use it in the shower. That didn’t work (the shaver ran uselessly over my calluses, even when applying pressure), nor did it work on really wet feet once I was out of the shower. The best way, for me, to use this is to shower, lightly towel off my feet, and then use this shaver on my softened rough foot skin. Worked like a charm. It’s probably wrong to get as much joy as I do from seeing long peels o’ rough foot skin come off with this shaver. I use this once or twice a week and get a satisfying amount of dead skin off without injuring myself. It’s been almost two months, and don’t see any need to get a replacement shaver blade yet. (I don’t use the rasp part at all.) I love it, and wish I’d bought it sooner.
**UPDATE** Sept 16, 2008: I’ve finally used the rasp part! I have a length-wise rough bit on the ball of my foot, just below my 2nd toe, on each foot. They each just look like a line, but they’re almost a crack. I couldn’t get to it with the shaver, or, I could, but the shaver didn’t have anything to “catch” on, since the surrounding skin is soft. So I used the rasp on it, which reminds me of a grater for nutmeg or something. But, it worked very quickly without having to apply a lot of pressure. Viola! Soft skin again, no trace of the weird crack on each foot. I’m kicking myself in the head for not using the rasp sooner.
I’m still using the blade that came with the shaver, by the way. It’s been almost 5 months? I now only use the shaver every couple weeks.

For years I tried every pedicurist and foot file known to mankind, trying to get the nasty crust off my feet. Nothing worked. I was desperate! The tweezerman callus shaver is awesome. I’ve been using it for four weeks now, and my feet are smooth as a baby’s bottom. I haven’t cut myself either, no bleeding. Each morning after I shower, I shave a little off my heels and the ball of my foot (you can’t take it all off at once, at little at a time every day works best). Then put on some good good cream (try Aveeno intensive foot cream if you don’t want the expensive stuff). Your feet MUST be wet from the shower–won’t work on dry skin (I tried it–not good). Now, I’m off to buy replacement blades!

Okay, this is gross, but who has never had a painful corn or callus on their foot? I had one on my baby toe and it hurt! So, I ordered this callus shaver. It is very sharp, so be careful with it. It has a safety sheild over the blade, but go easy at first until you see how it works on you. I got excellent results on my corn by first using a medicated corn pad for a few days to soft up the dead skin. Then, I went to work with the callus shaver. It was much easier to use after the corn pad treatment and quickly removed the corn. If medicated corn pads are not right for your foot problem, try using the callus shaver after a bath or shower that softens your skin a bit. Otherwise, you might find that the shaver cuts too much off at once. My problem has been gone for a few weeks now and I have had no more pain. The rasp part is good, too, sort of like a “ped egg”. This tool is a nice “two-fer”.

Update . . . after a few months the slide got stuck from rust. No longer usable!
This works fine, the sliding handle makes it very unlikely that you will receive an accidental cut from the razor while in storage. The file is awkward to use.

It is a bit scary to use, but works extremely well. Shipper got it out quite quickly, too.
