Anybody know how many inches it can shave in one sweep? Is there a warranty, in the event that, say, a swatch of foot hair five-inches thick jams the thing up?
Just curious, that's all.

Such innocent, clueless fellows. Sweet.
No, the foot-shavers Bella's talking about (I'm pretty sure) have nothing to do with hair. They shave off SKIN. Yes, dead (hopefully) skin. Then the skin collects inside the device and they show opening it up and dumping the disgusting skin shavings. They pour blue liquid on "sanitary pads" but they show a pile of dead-foot-skin shavings in extreme close-up with impunity?? Not right.
yes - disgusting, especially when they show the ground up skin being tossed.

now you made me shiver

I find soaking in a nice warm bath or foot bath softens the skin well, so the skin can be gently rubbed off.
the results just aren't the same.
gotta thank littlek and blaisedaley for convincing me to go for my first pedicure as my 40th (or was it 45th?) birthday present to myself - who knew feet could feel sooooo wonderful
“the study found that fish pedicures are unsanitary and may lead to the spread of fungal and bacterial infections through small cuts or lesions in customer’s feet”
This was my very first thought.

@dadpad,
Anthony Bourdain went for one of those on his No Reservations program. It didn't look too appealing.

So anyway, has anyone used one of these?
When a razor blade unit gets too dull to shave my face, I save it for use on
my foot. I've got a monster bunion and keeping the callous off saves me
considerable irritation. Maybe one of these foot shavers would be both
safer and more convenient.
My gawd you girls - I have one of those graters. It's not really a shaver, it
grates your dead skin away and it's just the greatest thing and my heels are
soft and smooth.
I am barefoot most of the time and in sandals the other - I need something
that works on my heels, and this grater does. I love, love, love it!
