I've mangled my forehead and eyebrows thanks to you lot.

Those bloody eyebrow razors. Even dh who never notices anything said to me this morning "what the fucks happened to your face"

I look like someone has taken barbed wire and pressed it against my skin just above my eyebrows. Loads and loads of little scabby, itchy spots. Which I must have scratched in my sleep and are now big scabby, bleeding, oozing mess. With stubble mixed in for good measure.

Can't see the damage as I'm on an ipad but I never let myself near my eyebrows.

Don't react to threading. I did put makeup on about an hour.

It looks worse in real life than in the photos and its the pain which is quite bad. Its really sore, especially if I smile/raise my etpyebrows/move any muscles in my face.

It hurts even in areas where it doesn't look like the skin is broken.

I fell for them too.

They seemed blunt and didn't appear to trim anything I must have eyebrows of steel

Sorry I can't stop laughing at your op! But you have my sympathy having once dry shaved my legs.

I'm pretty much convinced that the way to sanity is with doing the opposite of whatever S&B recommends.

And maybe you should put some antibacterial gunk on your skin.

Is is just me who reckons the eyebrow razor fad was cleverly engineered on here by the seller of the razors?

suspicious

You poor thing! But really, razors on your eyebrows??

Mind you, I had my own shaving disaster once - I used to use my then-boyfriend's Remington electric shaver to shave my legs. One time, it was a bit stingy, but I just carried on, thinking "It's ok, it can't be cutting me, the micro mesh will protect me!" Well yes, it would have, except for the little hole that had appeared in it - I had diamond patterns cut into my leg where the blades had caught me through the hole! Only did one leg, thankfully. It stung like a bastard for days though. :(
