Tweezerman. They are recommended by so many industry experts, and come with lifetime sharpening guarantee. £15 from Boots, I think.

I was just coming on to say Tweezerman. Nothing else to add, really!

Tweezerman. :)

I bought mine years ago, maybe 15 years or so! from QVC - I think they were about £11 back then. That was more than enough for me to spend on tweezers.

But they are still perfect.

The speil on the back says " we offer free sharpening service with no outbound shipping or handling charges and no processing fees". That's pretty cool. Would I actually send them off though? Hmm

Oh right. In mine it seemed to say I had to send them to ny and back at my own expenses

Tweezerman. I buy them as stocking stuffers for everyone.

Tweezerman. Mine are around 17 years old. Never sharpened them. Get the slanted ones not the pointy ones.

How do you sharpen yours, Stealth?

Report
Stealthpolarbear · 22/07/2015 14:33

With a knife sharpener. I put it between the blades and sort of pull it out whole closing the blades.
I don't understand how some of you never need to sharpen them. Mine need sharpening about twice a year!

While closing the blades. I think rough sandpaper would do a similar job but never tried

Get the pointy ones. Takes ages to do eyebrows but so satisfying

Oh I got the slanty ones stealthpolarbear. Ah well I'm sure they'll do the job. They have to better than the ones I'm using now. They look like tweezers but rarely do they grip anything!

Yes the slanty ones are good too. The pointy ones are quite lethal!
