I'm almost embrassed to post this - manscaping

Or another choice for those of you brave enough to venture into the ladies realm of beauty products. Revlon, yes Revlon, makes a product specifically for removing the callusus from your feet and it works very well. Kind of like a Smith's sharpening steel it is two sided, rough and fine, and the handle is angled so you don't even have to bend over as much a few minutes while watching the ball game or reruns of Band of Brothers and your calluses are gone and we all know how much of a pain cracked and bleeding calluses can be.

I use pumice, the whitish stone-like stuff that comes out of volcanos. It's a rather ancient way to remove rough spots on the skin. A bit smaller than a bar of soap, it's also excellent for scrubbing off the urea crystals that form on the toilet; pumice is softer than porcelain and won't scratch it, but harder then those crystals. Other advantage is, it requires no electricity, though I suppose you could strap it to your sander if you're really into power.

The pumice stone I use goes back at least thirty years or so and it shows every sign of lasting far longer than I will.

I don't know if it's still carried in drug stores; like Witch Hazel, it's pretty much unknown among the younger generations.

If your store doesn't carry one, then root around in your nearest volcano. Just avoid the magma chamber and pyroclastic flows.

P.S. May I look forward to future grooming discussions here, say on ear wax removal, age spots and the like? Ugly mugs like us are desperate for all the help we can get.

Louis of PA, don't you realize that some of us are so ugly that it wouldn't be cost effective to get all these products just to save face!

I tell ya, I get no respect, I'm so ugly...... (how ugly are you?).....I'm so ugly, everytime I look in the mirror, my reflection passes out!

Ron H,

I'd use power tools to rid myself of calluses just to get the thrill of victory. But I know I would just end up experiencing the agony of defeet!

Mr moderator, after that last post, can we please close the thread?

Hi Louis, this friendly guy out of a mans beauty salon has a nice method for ear wax removal.
