Claims (8)

1. A skin grooming device comprising a bottom planar surface for removable attachment to a stationary surface, and a top planar surface having an indentation forming a recess into which is affixed an undulating abrasive block having a concave portion and a convex portion and having an external circumference in a figure 8 shape with one side of the figure 8 forming the concave portion and one side of the figure 8 forming the convex portion with both portions being substantially identical in circumference for use in abrading rough, dead, or dry skin from keratinous surfaces.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein the concave and convex portions having a substantially identical circumference are separated by a mid section having a width that is less than the figure 8 portions.

3. The device of claim 1 wherein the abrasive block is made of pumice.

4. The device of claim 1 wherein said bottom planar surface having side edges has at least one hand gripping member affixed to at least one side edge.

5. The device of claim 4 wherein the gripping member is a flexible thermoplastic material with adhesive properties.

6. The device of claim 5 wherein the flexible thermoplastic material has slits in the side.

7. The device of claim 1 wherein the abrasive block is glued into the indentation of the planar surface.

8. A device for removing skin from the bottoms of the feet during a shower or bath, said device comprised of a bottom planar surface having an adhesive web for removable attachment to the shower or tub surface, and a top planar surface having an indentation forming a recess into which is permanently affixed an undulating pumice block in the form of a figure 8 having a concave portion and a convex portion and having an external circumference in a figure 8 shape with one side of the figure 8 forming the concave portion and one side of the figure 8 forming the convex portion with both portions being substantially identical in circumference, wherein said bottom planar surface has side walls having hand gripping members affixed thereto.
