OT: I am venting....
 
In my business I use a foot file called swedish clover. I buy them from sallys by the half dozen. I notice the new one did not work as well. I was really upset, so I thought maybe it was just a bad file so I opened up another one tonight and it has the same problem. The grit is supposed to be 100 grit. It is not the same grit.
Upon closer examination I discover that the file used to be made in the USA now they are made in china....they are using inferior sand paper.:mad:
I am so upset as this is a major portion of my job is using this file to thin thick toe nails and calluses. I called the company and spoke with customer service about the product and she said she would research the problem and email me back.
I don't want to use an electric drill for sanitation issues and the risk involved.
Dr. Scholls makes one I think but it is not as good.
This is really upsetting to me.

Dear Bizi, :hug: :hug: :hug:

That really really stinks --- an important tool for your work has become unavailable from your usual supplier. THat's good that you called the company.

Have you seen this product:: Tweezerman Soft Grip Foot File?

I bought mine either at nearby Walgreens or CVS but Target carries them. Are these the same quality that Sally's or Dr. Scholls sells?

I'm sorry Bizi There are so many inferior grade products caming to us from China.

It sadley sounds like a matterial that use to be made in the USA has gone out of business,or they sell only to highly specialized groups.

I hate to see the downgraded stuff from China also. BF:hug::hug::hug:
