 Don't use dry, but don't use in the shower, either June 17, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
 a bit disappointing June 15, 2008

I purchased this callus shaver with vision of all the money I'd save by not getting pedicures at the salon, but I must say I am disappointed. I don't know if I have tougher or thicker calluses than other people, but I have not had the best of results with this product. At the salon, I see strings of dead skin come off of their callus tools, but this product barely creates any, and then, only with more pressure from me than I feel really comfortable about. Another thing: do not leave this item in the shower! The blades are extremely prone to rusting- one or two days left there will render the blade totally unusable!
On a positive note, the rasp is useful and the design is pretty good. I purchased a bunch of replacement blades from my local Beauty Brands (though they are also available here on Amazon) and I am hoping that will make a difference in how this product performs.
Great Long Lasting Product April 4, 2008
This is my second time buying one of these, only because I lost my first one. It lasts forever! Be careful and gentle or you could injure yourself. Read the directions carefully, using gently, soft strokes! I hurt myself years ago by using it on dry feet! If you know what you're doing and you need a callus shaver, this is the PERFECT one!
This thing changed my life (or at least my feet) January 28, 2008

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!
 Slide gets stuck. December 26, 2007

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.
