tweezers-so irritating!

[MouseRoar]

I have three tweezers: pointed, straight edge and claw end. Two of them can't grip the hair and the straight one either breaks the hair off or grabs the skin as well as the hair and cuts me.

Life shouldn't be this hard, should it? Can anybody help with a recommendation for an efficient, not too expensive tweezers please?

I use pointed tweezerman. Cheap ones never work ime.

Pointed Tweezerman here too. No issues.

I just buy mid range boots slanted, £6
They are pretty good

You have pull the skin taught and skim the skin from sideways to get a good grip!

If your tweezers have contact with skin (lightly) you'll get a better grip than just plucking the end of a hair which means it will break

I think it’s your method!

Saying that I’d like some magnetic tweeze/mirror combination

tweezerman every time

Thanks, I have been wondering if tweezerman were worth the extra, might give them a go. Not sure if I should give cheaper slanted ones first, am sick of struggling with the cheap ones I already have.
I did have an excellent pair that were really easy to use, but I can't remember where I got them and they've vanished to God knows where 😣

Tweezerman.

After throwing so many useless ones away, I saved up boots points and bought Tweezerman slanted
I have also kept a pair of good ones which are Cliganic brand( from eBay or Amazon)

I have tweezerman ones and I know I bought them when I lived in a certain place, so they must be 18 or 19 years old and they still work perfectly.

Youngest DC used my slanted Superdrug basic tweezers for something and blunted them. After a bit of googling I found that you can re-sharpen them on a glass nail file. They've been amazing since I did it. Maybe give it a go before you buy anymore.

Tweezerman..last decades

Pay extra for tweezerman. All others are useless.

Boots own brand slant edged ones.

The lady in Boots told my Mum that they are better than tweezerman so she got me a pair. I don't know if they are better than tweezerman as I haven't tried them but they are substantially better than any others I have ever had.

She also said that you can resharpen them if they go blunt with some fine sandpaper.

Tweezerman definitely.

They are more expensive but I've been using mine for more than 10 years and they're still as good.

I don't spend money on branded things if I can help it but Tweezerman are definitely worth spending a bit more on.

Another vote for tweezerman. I’ve got 2 pairs, one of which is about 15 years old and still going strong!

Another vote for Tweezerman. Nothing else is as good and they last years.

Came on to say tweezeman!

I've just bought cliganic slanted from Amazon and they are excellent. Cheaper and better than the tweezerman ones I've lost

Hi, definitely buy Tweezerman. The mini slanted are £14 from Boots. All you need

Thanks everyone, I've ordered the mini tweezerman ones, did it before I saw the posts about cliganic. I'm actually excited for them to get here, I'm such a saddo😂

my tweezermans are very old work great i have slanted ones. Got some slightly cheaper on ebay recently

Yep. Tweezerman and like PP said, you will get a more accurate and less painful result if you stretch the skin first.

Tweezerman tweezers (20 years plus and still going strong) but also the Tweezerman eyelash curler is a great buy too - just in case anyone is looking for a decent one.
