Since shaving my head my eyebrows seem to stand out a bit more than when I had hair. They are quite thick. This guy at the gym, who also shaves his head, told me I should use the trimmer on them at like a two guard. I was wondering if anyone else here has tried anything with their brows? Thanks-

I've never trimmed my eyebrows, but I've heard of other guys doing that. You could also visit your local beauty salon to inquire with them. Women usually know best when it comes to these things.

I'm not sure if it is true or not, but I have heard the shaving or trimming eyebrows will cause them to grow back bigger and thicker. ???

I've been meaning to ask y'all that same question regarding the noggin. I've heard that about any place you shave.
-
once you shave it, why would you want to grow it back ?
-
When I used to get my haircut, they used to trim my eyebrows, just to get the ones that were out of control. You know, that one hair that magically gets over an inch long over-night.
-

You mean the noggin? Excellent point....I guess to simply discover if the rumor is true....you know...if it grows back thicker and fuller.
Seems like if it did...that would be a remedy for baldness.....how ironic

LOL.....I know EXACTLY what you mean. :D

The wife talked me into letting her trim my eyebrows once. Never again though. She thought it would help my "image" for a talent contest I was in. I didn't win it, so haven't done it since then.
-
I think it's a myth that your hair will grow back thicker. Heck, my hair has gotten thinner since I started shaving, though, I don't think it has anything to do with my shaving.

Spaceape,
Get a beard trimmer and trim those puppies! It will actually make you look more sly! I reccomend using setting 2. You don't want to give your eyebrows a crewcut because that will look stupid.
But I have the same problem as you and I say give them a buZZZZZZZ!

I concur with Doctor Noner. Mine all get out of control (Unlike Johnny who only has one or two doing that). I use my clippers, a two guard, and a comb or stop by and let my old barber shape them up.

Noner you forgot to put the Dear before Spaceape. That is the way it's on the Dear Abbie responses. ;)

Thanks for all the replies gents. I guess I'll have to invest in some clippers and give it a go. Tomorrow will be a week since my shave, and while I wasn't really sure about it after I shaved, I'm starting to get that urge to do it again. I don't think it looked the best on me, but even before shaving I wasn't getting the ladies- so what exactly do I need to worry about,lol. I might opt for comfort and sly over looks.
And what's with people at the gym looking at me wierd,lol. I guess I really do look more intimidating without hair,lol. 8)

Post up a pic... we'll give you a fair and honest evaluation! Mug shot style is the best... one from the front, one from the side!

Will do. I might shave again tomorrow night, in which case I will def post some pics.

Played around with the camera phone a bit. Here's some results. This is a week of growth-

Shave it back down... from the picture, you gotta good face and head for being bald!

Yep, what he said. ;D
Seriously, in the pic your hair is short enough to see your head's shape. You got the right dome.

Yeah what they said...and stuff

I trim mine with the shortest setting on the beard trimmer. Go with the grain on these. I actually shaved them last summer. It looked kind of cool. Some people that I'm close to on a daily basis didn't even notice. My wife didn't even notice. I stopped shaving them though, cuz I kept forgetting about it. Another downside is the shaving cream, water, etc. runs right into your eyes if you're not careful.

Shave er' back down, and keep er' down.

That'll leave a mark! Walkiin around with bloodshot eyes like your hammered.

Hung over, big bald guy. ???

HeadLube really stings in your eyes!!!

:Dear Spaceape: Stay with the sly bald look. You've got great eyebrows and can carry it. I echo Medic: Headlube in the eyes is a real downer. If you shave daily or every other day, you'll get into the rhythm and not go back. Slick chrome beats velcro any day. Professor Melon

Chrome...oooooooooo....rednecks like shiny things
-
HeadLube really stings in your eyes!!!
So does HeadSlick! Though, I'm sure all shaving creams do, I just happen to use HeadSlick.
-
Thanks for the reviews. I ordered some headlube and tonight I'm itchin to shave it again. The brows are the problem though, so I might just give them a buzz. Thanks again-

I hear ya! Though, I've also had lotion in my eyes...not so fun either.
By the way, I tried to make the face in the mirror that you have in your pic. I ended up looking like a frog.
