QuestionI've never had a pro pedicure and am going to follow this regimen to improve my nasty feet now that it's sandal time. I've heard they shave off dead skin. Is this something I can do with a leg shaver?Community AnswerThe short answer is "No", you should not use leg shavers for your feet. You risk hurting yourself and damaging your razor.
