tweezerman tweezers

[cocolepew]

Are they worth the money?

TIA

I think so, yes. (I hahve 2 pairs) One pair needs sharpening however and I know they do free sharpenings, but I havent got off my arse to do it.

My best tweezers actually are some I bought in a hurry in Asda. They cost pence.

So I don't know about tweezerman, but others do rave.

How much money anyway?

Yes

Yes! I've had mine about 12 years now and they're still fab. Mine need sharpening but like mrsmaidamess, I can't be arsed sorting it. Can you sort it online?

Do yo send the away to be sharpened? Clary about £18-£20 unless somebody knows better

YES

just remember where you put them - they are so SMALL, I have lost two pairs

Not sure. perhaps this thread is the kick up the arse I need.

I put mine back in their little case with their rubber hat on each time

Definitely. They last for years.

Hmmmm I think I might invest, I'm like a Gallagher brother so I pluck a lot.

Oh gosh yes! Buy brightly coloured ones - I have a pink pair and a red pair. And I have never been arsed to get them sharpened but I should really. I just bought a new pair when the old ones got too blunt to be much use but kept them as I am going to send them off 'one day'. When I die, I will be surrounded by umpteen pairs of blunt tweezers

Mine are pink, so easy to find in my makeup box. They were about 13 pounds and worth every penny (and I say that as somebody who wouldn't normally spend money on something like that but I'd had too many cheaper and rubbish pairs).

mine are 10 years old and despite my werewolf like hairiness they don't need sharpening. totally worth the money. even my un-trendy mum has gone and bought some.

yes

woohoo £20 [gasp]

I am always losing tweezers (found a pair in the Dyson the other day ) so maybe not a good plan.

What is this with the sharpening? Are they like a pin or what needs sharpening about a pair of tweezers? (clearly a whole other world here....)

they are worth every penny i have never sharpened mine and have been used on a daily basis for 2 or 3 years

Thank you, lovely eyebrowed ladies.

Yes, I have lost 2 pairs though, I am trying to keep them in their case this time.

They are great unless you drop them in the sink, two weeks after getting them, and break one of the ends off

I invested in tweezerman a couple of years back - very sharp -but I just couldn't use them- continue to use the pair I bought in Boots when I was 16 .

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep mine in their case so I don;t loose them but find them fab. Pluck after pluck they still perform well..

I have a pair of "diamante"/swarovski encrusted ones if interested . BNIB. Bought as I lost my others..then they turned up the day I ordered a new set! Typical.

bebesequin - was it the point ones you bought ? My mum got those by mistake - VERY pointy and sharpe .

sharpe ? mmmmmm maybe I have Sean Bean on the brain

Regarding tweezer sharpening - what I do is take some fine sandpaper, fold it in two so both rough sides face out, then pinch this with the tweezers and drag out the paper. I do this a few times and they do seem to grip better thereafter. It only takes a minute - I read this somewhere and it's basically just a DIY version of professional sharpening as I see it.

I've done this on my Tweezerman tweezers maybe 2-3 times a year for a few years now with no problem. Unfortunately last week I dropped the tweezers and they landed tip first, one side is now flattened/blunted and the edges don't align anymore so they are now useless I don't think it's worth sending them out for repair so really must get some in Boots tomorrow, my brows are looking really ragged...
