though the women who does my pedicure DOES shave any callous off
my feet, it remains illegal for pedicurist (a word?) to
cut/shave with razors. (in wisconsin)
For the jolly good reason that the skimming of the skin off the foot
is risky for the introduction of infection. Apparently one doesn't
need to cut into the skin and draw blood for the risk of infection
to be there. I'm not sure if podiatrists, who are registered with
the medical council and whose training is quite lengthy, are able to
cut into the build up of dead skin. Pedicurists are only trained to
beautify the foot and do the very basics.
Regular work with a foot file keeps feet soft and smooth, and then
there are the special foot exfoliation products which help for those
really rough patches that the foot file just scratches.
