Title: Trimming Eyebrows
Post by: herronm on July 06, 2007, 12:42:59 PM

You young guys won't know anything about this....   

What do you do about your eyebrows?  Trim them yourself?  What tools do you use?  Since we don't go to barbers anymore, it takes a little self maintenence.

Don't get me started about the nose and ear hair.  Now I know where the hair from my head went.

Max, I got one of these little personal trimmers that runs on 1 AAA battery.  I think I paid 5 bucks for it about a year ago.  Eyebrows, nose and ear hair are about the only things they are good for.

Ha ha - yep. I know what you mean herronm -- there's nothing worse than having a good shave only to notice later that you've missed one really long hair growing from the rim of your ear!  Ever get those?

It's the curse of getting older.  Hair falls out but grows where you don't want -- nose, outside and inside of ears, etc.

I use a clippers set on 1, at first I was a little concerned about it, but turns out it works quite well for me.

I call it the landslide effect.

If that's a getting older problem I'm screwed- already have the same problems at 23! I just took the beard trimmer to my eyebrows, at like a two guard. It worked well for me, and now that you mention it I need to hit them again.

For the eyebrows I use a comb and scissors.

I comb the hair straight down and then trim straight across, parallel with the main brow, then comb across from center to end.  AND I do it all while wearing bi-focals!   :D

I trim mine sometimes. I use the precision blade on the back of the gillette fusion. Works great.
