Title: eyebrows
Post by: jc71corvette on February 08, 2010, 04:32:36 PM
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

I know some guys here have shaved off their eyebrows.  Haven't heard of them coloring them, but I've seen it done before.

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.

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.
Title: Re: eyebrows
Post by: TGB1 on May 19, 2010, 12:01:05 PM
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 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

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!

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.
Title: Re: eyebrows
Post by: phigg on August 12, 2010, 12:21:46 PM
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)

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

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.
