DiamancelLuxury Diamond Foot Buffer - Coarse Grit – For Large Calluses & Rough Skin - #20 (no handle)

The skin on my feet is really dry, especially the heels. When I run a lot and play basketball they start to crack and bleed if not taken care of. I've tried a lot of other products to solve this, like the ped egg and the pumice stone, and they just don't take off enough skin. I resorted to using sandpaper for awhile because that was the only thing rough enough to take off the tough callouses. The only problem with using sandpaper is that it wears out every few weeks and I have to purchase more. Plus it is a little too harsh on the skin. I did some research and found this Diamancel #20 file and ordered it. When I got it and took it out of the package, I was surprised at how flimsy it was. It has just a very very thin layer of metal wear the diamonds are attached, and then has about a 2mm acrylic plastic layer on the backside of it. Some reviewers say this is a good thing since it provides some flex when filing. For the high price, I wish the entire thing was solid metal. The file does work very well though. You have to use it when the skin is really dry. It takes off dead skin so easily. It is easy to clean as well and should last forever from what I can tell. I think this file is pretty much the best option that money can buy... I would recommend it to anyone.

WHO KNEW that the best place for diamonds is on a little buff board for your feet? Best foot implement I have ever used -- 10x better that Pedi Egg (leaves feet smoother). Totally worth the investment. Some people have remarked that it is on the flimsy/thin side -- I don't think so. Works great and have no concern that the thing could break / snap. Buy one for your husband, too, so that he does not steal yours. Hope it has a long life. The only people who don't like this are the owners of the nail salons, as you will no longer need to fork out $30 each week for a pedicure. Seriously. This week I had "change polish" rather than full pedi and the gal was checking out my feet with an air of suspicion. She could probably tell they were looking far too good...but she did not confront me (as in, "O.k., hand over your Bliss Diamancel......I KNOW you have one!"). I read about this product in a magazine...O (Oprah), maybe? Now I know: Bliss Diamancel is one of those "must-haves" in the well-groomed woman's toolkit. If it's good enough for Oprah, it's good enough for you. Good luck.

Love it!

Use this all the time, it is amazing

While the diamancel is more expensive than what you'd expect for a file, it really is worth the value because it never gets dull. Regular foot files constantly need to be replaced. This one is also easier to sterilize as well. I've wanted one of these for awhile, and finally decided to treat myself. (Treat myself to a foot file, oh what an exciting life I lead!) Anyway, it works great, like all the other reviewers said. But I was shocked by how small and flimsy it appears. Being a diamond-coated piece of metal, I expected it to be firm and sturdy. Instead, the metal is extremely thin and flexible. So far it hasn't been a problem, but I feel like it would function better if the structure was more rigid. Perhaps the bendy-ness is a feature to keep overzealous filers from filing their heels right off? :)

I have to agree with all the other reviewers and rate this product as excellent! If you have dried and callused feet this is the product you need. My feet were so bad looking I thought maybe I had some sort of foot disease but it was just dry skin and calluses. I tried several other products over the years that just did not work very well including natural and artificial pumice stones and the Ped-Egg that you see in stores a lot. After just 2 days use with the Diamancel rasp however, I removed virtually all the dead skin and calluses from my feet and they looked great. I coupled that with a nightly application of a foot moisturizer (O'Keefes, available at Target for about $6.00) and within the week my feet are now as smooth and silky as a babes foot for the first time in years!This product is basically a file that has diamond face to it which files away the dead skin but does not seem to affect living skin at all. It is very gentle and I have never felt like it would affect any living tissue or make my feet sore in any way. Its a little bit more expensive than other products but it really does work so in the end just throw away all that other junk that doesn't really do much anyway and it is a bargain. Its a little thin and seems flimsy but just put your finger on the back of it when filing your feet. It is actually quite durable and bends a little bit in use to accommodate the curvature of your foot. I wholeheartedly endorse this product!

I purchased all three diamond grits from Diamancel. This is the roughest grit and the entire length of the handle is made of some sort of very thin reinforced plastic. It is NOT metal and is probably 2/16 of an inch thick. It bends easily and I'm afraid to really use it because it's going to snap in half with too much force. Pretty pathetic product because the other two from this company come with a substantial plastic handles that you could probably use to kill a hundred zombies before they begin to break, but this product amounts to a cheap plastic file with expensive diamonds glued to it.
