Does anyone happen to know where I can pick one of these up? It looks pretty similar to those cheese knives you see at Bed Bath & Beyond, and I'm thinking it might have those replaceable blades inside...

I think I spotted something similar at Walmart, maybe from Johnson & Johnson. Is that specifically for ingrown nails?

Yes, they actually carry it at Walmart, though if I were you, I’d check out Target—that new drugstore over by the mall—since their prices tend to be a bit more reasonable. You might even want to swing by CVS; they always have the most random assortment of stuff in stock! Just... please, do be careful not to nick yourself, okay? Try to keep your hand nice and relaxed while you're doing it.

No, this isn't actually meant for ingrown nails 🙂, rather it's for those thickened patches on the soles—specifically the heels. Though, if you go overboard with it, you'll just end up with #trending—I actually tried cutting my own calluses once, and honestly, it just made the skin grow back even thicker! I’d much rather stick to a foot file, some exfoliation, a pumice stone, or even just a bit of lemon juice... provided you do it consistently. And if your job requires you to be on your feet all day, please, do yourself a favor and wear some supportive, cushioned shoes.

I'd honestly rather just stick to a foot file, some exfoliation, a pumice stone, or even just lemon juice, as long as I'm being consistent with it. and if you spend all day on your feet, you really need to invest in some comfy shoes.

Exactly, it's for the calluses... mine really acts up on the side of my pinky toe...
It doesn't bother me much during my normal routine, but when I'm playing tennis, it absolutely kills me... sliding around on the court dust and playing several times a week makes it sting like crazy... I went to a professional podiatrist and saw that they just slice it right off with a tool, and honestly, once I put my sneakers back on, it feels better than sex... so then I tried doing it myself with a sharp blade and realized that actually helps quite a bit too... now I've finally decided to just go out and buy one of those professional surgical blades...

It doesn't bother me during my normal routine, but when I'm out playing tennis, it’s absolute torture... sliding around on the hardcourt and playing several times a week makes it sting like crazy... I went to see a podiatrist and saw him just hacking away at it with a blade, and honestly, once I put my sneakers back on, it felt better than sex... then I tried doing it myself with a sharp knife and realized that actually helps quite a bit too... so now I've finally decided to just go out and buy one of those professional surgical blades...
