I think i'd look better bald with black/dark brown eyebrows, instead of the blonde brows. Anyone ever tamper with your eyebrows?
Eyebrows are the most imporant facial feature
-
This is going to sound stupid but everyone says I have perfect eyebrows for a guy...... so I won't mess with perfection!! :*))
-
I know some guys here have shaved off their eyebrows. Haven't heard of them coloring them, but I've seen it done before.
-
Like the picture in the ad below. That guy has dark eye brows. It just sticks out
-
i die mine pink every once in while for shits and giggles.
-
You could take a picture of yourself, photoshop the eyebrows and start a poll here so we could give you our honest opinions? Or you could just try it ... :)
-
I shaved mine clean off last week, just to see what it would be like. I kinda like it, but haven't decided what I'm doing with 'em long-term...

They are just hair, enjoy them, shave them off, die them colors, make yourself happy.
-
Mine were getting those old man yellow grays, so I just shaved mine off and grew a goatee. It's fine with glasses, and my glasses do stay cleaner.
-
CraftyGuy: Some guys can pull off no eyebrows, and you're definitely one of them. Looks good!
I agree with Koz though. People say I have really nice eyebrows and I consider them my most defining facial feature. I'm a sink-shaver, and about a month ago I tried shaving my head in the shower and accidentally took about 1/5th of my left eyebrow off >:( Luckily I didn't misshape it. First and last time I ever shower-shave though, haha.

Mine are pretty much back to normal in about a month....some people take a little less or more time.....depends on how thick and dark they are to begin with.

Unless you like the look, then they don't ever have to grow back in.

Well said!

I 'm not into this eyebrow shaving thing . .
Whats worse is when women pluck there brows and draw a new squiggly line with a marker . . :XX

Good point, Tom! Touche!
-
I dunno if I'd ever have the balls to shave my eyebrows off
-
I will never shave my eyebrows. I don't see the point. To be honest, I think that no eyebrows on surpose is silly.
-
I'm all for keeping them trimmed. Shaved off - nah, don't think so.
-
Mine tend to be lighter in color but I find I need to trim them back about once or month or they become a bit unruly.
-

I second that Polar. Trim them down like TGB says, yes. Shave them off, No way!
-
not me.
-
i got complemented on my eyebrows too but here lately ive been thinking about shaving them off! im unemployeed for the time being.. i have nothing to lose.. theyll grow back

Go for it bro...if you can and it wont affect anything..why not..go for the full Mr. Clean action..let us know if you go for it!
-
lol.. well i havent shaved them completely off yet but i did buzz them down and i loved how it turned out! ill wait and see if i can get the nerve to do it all... i have fat eyelids so im afraid of someone saying "hey you have fat eyelids!"
-
Go for it, afther a short buzz is the next step a shave.
-
I know this is the wrong forum for this.... But does my picture show up to anyone when I post? or does it just not show up when I read my own post? How do I get it to show up???
I still havent went all the way with shaving off my eyebrows.. Im going to wait till tomorrow cause I have a date and I want a fresh shiny head... and then Ill go for the eyebrows, maybe
-
Yep, your picture shows up. Are you seeing anyone else's pictures? I think there's a button in your profile page that you have to click to see/hide avatars.
-
Mine are kinda long and shaggy. I think I'll do beads and braids...
-
OK, so like, what is the purpose for eye brows? :/O Other that gooping up the tops of my Ray Bans, don't they keep some of the sweat out of your eyes? ??? Don't you "need" them? :o
-
They serve the same purpose as the hair on your head does.
-
I've been shaving my eyebrows for 7 weeks now, and decided to stick to it.
Actually I needed more time to get used to the new look than it was the case when I went sly, but now I'm loving it. As it has been mentioned before, it also makes for far less grease on the glasses.
So it's official: I've changed my status to BBBBC - bald bearded browless by choice.
Some guys here have already complimented me for the look. Thanks again! I wouldn't have done it without SBG. :)

Wow! I probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned this. I never thought about it. I have noticed my eyebrows starting to be like my late father's, they are starting to thin out and some of the follicles grow thicker and wild. It irritates me. All I can do is pull them out. Can't trim them or they just stick out. ^-^

Noggin ....... being you wear glasses shaving your brows is not that noticeable. But without glasses I think it would be. Also as we age those hairs do have a mind of their own as referenced by ...J B Good.

Amen, if I don't hit them w/ a #3 every month or so, it's a new root bed for a combover!

For your entertainment I've compiled some before and after pictures (click to enlarge):

I think it works for you.
-
Like Saintc I usually trim mine with a #3. Curiosity took the best of last month and I went with a #1. Didn't look awful but it did change my appearance. It took about 3 weeks to grow back to normal.
-
Going without eyebrows is a little too alien for me. I'm keeping mine. They keep sweat out of your eyes and might even capture dirt or dust, though your eyelashes are much more effective at that.
I think people look like they have a stronger character or more vigor or something with darker eyebrows, so I sometimes use my Just for Men -Beard -Medium Brown on the suckers. Otherwise, they just look washed out.. which looks old, IMO. (And yeah, I used to have facial hair, but I like it better without -too much grey coming in now)
-
we all have our favorite styles on this site.

You look great without brows..but looking at these pics..i gotta say the bottom only goat suits you much better..a real good look for you!
-
Thanks!
I've had the small one last year (tried Just for men when the pictures were taken that's why it looks so dark). Then no beard for some time, now back with the new style. Not sure yet which one is better.
-
Noggin,
I think you look great with or without eye brows, but I like the goatee best. My eyebrows are very light so no need for me to shave them. Whoopi Goldberg doesn't have eyebrows

Now that you mention it... I've never noticed that. :o
Here's an example of the exact opposite:

Unfortunately we can't see if he's bald or balding--could be the start of a really ugly combover. :D
-
I wonder how long it takes him to style those things.

And what about the shampoo & conditioner? Blow drying, styling, all those curls can't be natural. ;D

Maybe we found out what his hobby is.

The Noggin you looks great with shaved eyebrows, is a perfect look for you!

I concur - good look for both of ya!

I went to a barber/hair stylist to get my goatee groomed and was a little shocked as she trimmed my eye brows(without asking) in two quick flicks with the shaver...

A lot of barbers/stylists have taken to doing that - they usually ask first, however...

That's different.

...on top of it all, we she really liked the feel of the dome to...she gave it a head rub and went back for another...

Mine are really dark, and get really bushy. I use a Microtouch, to make them a little lighter. I've been thinking about shaving them, but I don't have the balls to do it
-
My brows are a medium-dark brown so they are pretty prominent features of my face.
I sometimes trim my eyebrows if they get to bushy, with hair clippers, I'm not a big fan of bushy brows.
-
never considered touching the eyebrows but I know some trim and shape them and put lines in them but not for me
:'(

I've got dark eyebrows myself. It looked a little weird before I went sly because my hair was almost completely grey, as was my facial hair when I had it.
-
Good to see you posting again jp_bald. Nice new avatar. I am not a fan of the browless look but you wear it really well.
-
@jpbald
I agree with kalbo, I am not a fan of shaved eye brows at all, but somehow you carry the look well. I guess, in life there is always an exception to the rule...
-
thanks guys!
-
The browless look does work well for you but I'm keeping mine the way they are, thank you very much.
-
I trim them when the are bushy...don't want them obstructing my view. :*))
