Tweezers

Any recommendations for good tweezers ? I never know whether to buy slanted or straight ones and what ones are good. End up with loads if useless ones.

For eyebrows and odd hairs elsewhere on the face !

Thanks .

I have a mini pair of tweezerman. They’re great.

TheChosenTwo · 21/03/2022 14:30

I have a pair of Tweezerman ones but I have to say they aren’t as good as a pair of 19 year old ones I still have from Boots! I only bought the fancy ones as I was told they make light work of plucking stray eyebrow hairs, have had them 2 months and never found them to be as good or accurate as my old faithfuls!

MoriaRoseForever · 21/03/2022 16:43

That’s interesting . So many times I’ve found things not to be as good as their reputation .

Have the people recommending bought recently ?

I have tweezerman too and they’re fantastic. I splashed out after buying many cheap pairs that just cut the hair rather than gripped it enough to tweeze out. My mum has an ancient cheap pair from a random chemist and they’re great but I think nowadays it’s tweezerman all the way.

MoriaRoseForever · 21/03/2022 16:46

Slant or pointed ?

WellTidy · 21/03/2022 16:46

I have the slanted ones.

WellTidy · 21/03/2022 16:47

It’s a funny word, tweezers, isn’t it. Never paid it any attention before but I really like it.

I have been using turquoise MASQD slanted Tweezers for the past year or so and find them brilliant for eyebrows (monobrow..) and stray chin hairs.

Tweezerman are the only ones that make light work of my lupine chin hairs. For my brows I have a pair from Boots that are about 20 years old and work fine.

TempNameChangexx · 21/03/2022 17:55

I use the Tweezerman slanted ones

Gonnagetgoing · 21/03/2022 17:58

Tweezerman are excellent have used others.

Tweezerman

TheChosenTwo · 21/03/2022 19:27

Op I’ve had mine for less than 6 months. I think maybe it’s because the hairs I’m trying to get at are very fine stragglers - perhaps they just struggle gripping on to them.

GeneLovesJezebel · 21/03/2022 19:30

Tweezerman keep hold of pesky hairs that slip through other tweezers. Im a convert.

GeneLovesJezebel · 21/03/2022 19:30

Slanted

Ohsugarhoneyicetea · 21/03/2022 19:32

MoriaRoseForever · 21/03/2022 19:40

Sofuckingsad · 21/03/2022 19:43

Tweezerman slanted - mine are 15 years old and still going strong. Have tweezerman mini pair as well - they're good but I don't LOVE them.
