Eyebrows

[Razor X]

I looked at my high school graduation photo a little while ago, and just as I suspected, my eyebrows were much thicker and darker back then.  I'm not sure how or when that changed, exactly.

Do people actually lose their eyebrows?  I'm just curious.

Sounds like something that could happen. I think they just get thinned out.

RazorX...hey dude, hope your weekend was a good one...with the newly "slyed brows" and all...hope the experience hasn't been the worst...see in your new avatar you're sportin' the shades...

awww, man, you had to resort to hiding the new look? Sorry, dude, I thought it looked pretty sly on you....don't hold the suggestion against me...

so, when you taking the razor to those suckers again?........Just kidding!

Nah, the shades are not related to the brows.    I might take the razor to them again at some point, but would like to get an idea of how long it takes for them to grow back first.  Right now they're at the sandpaper stage.  I might have to shave them again sooner if they look too horrible when they're growing out.  If that happens, I'll be stuck with shaved brows forever.  That is pretty much how I got  "stuck" with the shaved head.

Glad to here everything was cool with the shaved brows...

At first seeing the shaded avatar, i was thinking thank goodness you didn't go the "full monty" and shave off the whole lot, brows, goat and your head...

I could imagine your avatar looking all rapped up like a mummy till the stuff grew back...

glad that wasn't the case and sounds like you actually kinda dug the whole look ( I mean you already said you might go back to the extra sly look, if it doens't look good growing back)...

So, who you kidding,you may as was face up now brutha...you may end up being the "extra sly bald dude"!...just kidding!!....well, kind of......

I'm definitely not shaving the goat.  I didn't grow it until about two years after I started shaving my head and I realize now that I look a lot better with it.  The completely shaven look wasn't quite working for me.  I don't have as square a jawline as I would like to have, and the goat hides the weak chin rather nicely.  I don't think that chin will ever be seen again.

I hear ya on the goattee thing,,,help give a nicer jawline, even if it's a small bottom goat, like I have now....mine is smaller than what you see in the avatar...

actually because you have the goat, the sly brows work .

My dad has lost most of his eybrows.  You can barely tell tha the has any.

Hmmm, Tyler looks like nature may have plans for you to go the way of RazorX! Would you ever consider it, if they started to look thinned out and horrible?

BTW, is your dad Sly too?

[Robmeister]

Mine weren't ever much to write home about....but they were definitely thicker back when.

I have thought about shaving them off....just to see what it's like.....but the wife doesn't care for the idea.

Any chance of the shaving stimulating growth.....or is that part of the ol' wives tale?

No, my dad isn't Sly.  He's balding a bit, but still rocks hair without it looking bad.

I don't think I'll lose my brows like pops.  I seem to get most of my "hair" features from my mom's (Portuguese) side of the family.  I have pretty thick brows as it is and my uncles and grandfather all do to.

If I do go the way of my dad, I don't think I'll shave them only because right now they do a good job of keeping the shaving cream out of my eyes.

I always thought eyebrows became thicker with age - just like unwanted hair on most parts of the body.  Look at all the old men out there with huge bushy brows.   

I agree that the goatee is a distraction from the lack of brows.  If I look in the mirror just from the nose up, it seems a lot more obvious that they aren't there.

Speaking of getting thicker with age. I was talking to one of my customer's this morning who has a retreating hairline and major league eyebrows. It looks like he trimmed them a little 'cause they were too bushy. Looked kinda funny to me, they were just stickin out and not laid over nicely. That made me think of this thread......lol

God, I hope i never lose my eyebrows, I think I would cry, lol. My eyebrows are one of my favorite features about myself. I know that seems weird, but my ex-wife was obsessed with eyebrows and she got me to the point where that's one of the first things I notice about people. Eyebrows are an important part of how you look, they can change your entire face. For example, someone with low eyebrows looks mean. A woman with high eyebrows with a sharp peak in the middle looks bitchy. It's just cool to me how drastic eyebrows can change the entire look of someone's face.

[BALDANDRE]

Speaking of eyebrow...or lack there of...RazorX, how's your sly brows situation...

are they growing back fast...or have you gone to the full "sly side"?

Just wondering.
