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.

Another saying Tweezerman. I've had mine for over 10 years now and still going strong

Stealthpolarbear · 22/07/2015 13:17

The needle tweezer man
Tho the life time sharpening I'd a bit of a con, you have to post them to new York! I sharpen them myself

CoconutAmericano · 22/07/2015 14:08

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

SilverNightFairy · 22/07/2015 14:12

Tweezerman. I buy them as stocking stuffers for everyone.

bonzo77 · 22/07/2015 14:13

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

BitOfFun · 22/07/2015 14:13

How do you sharpen yours, Stealth?

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!

Stealthpolarbear · 22/07/2015 14:34

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

CoconutAmericano · 22/07/2015 14:51

So it's unanimous then! Grin. Looking forward to giving my brows a good seeing to later

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

CoconutAmericano · 22/07/2015 14:59

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!

OP posts:

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