Mine is white. I wanna pink one.
just the thought of those skin shavings makes me go queasy. I shall stick to my fish shaped pumice and some nice foot cream.

Its a fine powder. It's compelling actually. The only difference is you catch them rather than have them all over your carpet or bathroom. Mine were grey!

I've been thinking of getting one as I have horrible dry skin on my heels, but I have an aversion to nail files/emery boards, they make me go cold all over, nails-down-a-blackboard style. Is it anything like that? I just get the impression that it would make a nasty grinding sound.
This post makes me sound even more of a loon than usual.

I thought that too, but it was fine. it feels more like sandpaper than anything really. Go on, get one, you won't regret it

Well, as I'm easily persuaded, I just bought one for £2.59 off eBay! Now all I have to psyche myself up to use it once it arrives

Saw them on the market today. Could you get the same effect from a nutmeg grater?

I bet it will still work. Mine's probably a fake, it was so cheap. But I don't care
<twirls on tippy toes>
i suppose for the money i should have risked it but i was scared it would cut my feet to shreds or something.
Thanks for the tip Tidey, I will be off to Watt Brothers to get mine. My scary hobbit feet need some TLC pronto!

If you are a real horned hoofer a ped egg is NOt Enough. ime
It would probably be enough if you combine it with something like Flexitol or Scholl cracked heel cream wouldn't it?
How bad do your feet actually have to be to go to a chiropodist?
I have tried pumice, and a scarey-looking metal scraper thing and lots of flexitol.
Feet look ok in shoes etc. but there are still some bits bothering me.
But do my feet have to be covered in corns to go to a chiropodist ?
There are plenty in our old-lady market town.
