Have you seen this before?

I get caught out here from time to time. I’ll write about something that I think is pretty unique, something that not many people will know about and half of the myLotters know all about it and may even be a bit ho-hum about it.
Another time, I think ‘oh, everyone will know what this is’ and ramble on then find myself having to explain heaps more in the comments.
So I don’t know if you know what this is or not but I find it a very handy little gadget although it is getting a bit rusted up now. It’s a raspy thing and does a great job of taking of thickened skin on my heels. In the summer, I’m rarely out of thongs (flip flops) and my heels develop a lot of thick skin. I know there are creams you can use but once I found this, I stuck with it. So, is it something you’ve seen before or is it new to you?

I always clarify my thongs. Vince doesn't like any cheeses much but would agree with you about parmesan.

@DocAndersen I've been saying for years that computers need a smart aleck filter! 
But perhaps I should be careful what I wish for. A lot of my own comments might get filtered out.

@JudyEv Yes you can plug it in or let it charge to use it without the cord

I don't think I have one; but I know what they are...and I could use one.

I had one till last year. I used it frequently. Now I have one which has bristles on one side and a scrubbing stone on other.

I'm not sure if I've seen one exactly like that but I use something similar myself. Mine is a round tin thing. The top and bottom are different sizes of grater-type thing, and there's a pumice stone inside.
I'm glad you put 'flip-flops' in brackets as 'thongs' are something very different here!

The 'grater' is what my gadget is. As you say, yours sounds similar.

In the summer, I use it probably once a week, just for a minute or two.

No I haven't seen it before. I use cream to keep my heels soft.
