Rigorous Pedicure
Once in New York, I was upsold into a more rigorous pedicure. After a soak, she covered my feet in what I assume was some sort of cuticle remover and then took out a microplaner and removed all the dead skin. The result was incredible and lasted about a year. No joke. Where can I get one of those in the Albany, Berkeley, El Cerrito area?

sadly, illegal here to use the razor. But this thing is AMAZING: https://www.amazon.com/Emjoi-Micro-Pedi-Battery-Operated-Remover/dp/B00…
I believe you might be referred to a razor based tool.
These are illegal in California.
I've attached the Cosmetology Boards Health & Safety rules pertaining to this tool.
