Do you trim your eyebrows ?

[Mr Nice]

Just wondering if BITOG members trim their eyebrows ?

My wife trims my eyebrows with scissors once a month... she said bushy eyebrows makes me look 10-15 years older.

 

[joaks]

I do. Otherwise I have just a few strands that get REALLY long. I've had them cut with clippers when getting my hair cut as well.

 

[Barkleymut]

I had to start once I hit 35, otherwise I had about 10 that got really long and freaky looking

 

[dave1251]

No I pluck them so I do not get a uni-brow.

Do you really want to look like Andy Rooney?

Ditto. Got a small Philips Norelco nose, ear, and eyebrow trimmer at Target that works pretty well for the job.

The barber does mine.

Of course! Middle-aged men get all sorts of "great" hair growth that needs maintenance. I like my micro-touch clipper used with the short guard. Takes care of eyebrows quickly. Then you have nose hairs, ear hairs, and back hairs...

Yes and my eyelashes too
Those curl into my eyeballs and cause trouble

I play in the ocean often, and bushier eyebrows serve to capture excessive water and allows better vision in some situations.

But I do get some stragglers which grow so fast I could blend them into my hairline. I just snip these wire bristles off lest they bend inward and penetrate my cornea.

My Father and Uncles(Swedes)can use their eyebrows as one would use a baseball hat, and the wives gave up on trying to get them to trim them. It has become a battle of wills.

Now the hair that has been sprouting in on and around my ears is more annoying.

My wife also gets tweezers and pulls out every strand of ear hair. At first it hurt but she plucks them when they are very thin and sprouting up.

She is slowly turning me into a Ken doll.

Hello, I wish I could use the foul language necessary to describe how wretched men look when they let their eyebrows grow unattended. It's as if those guys want horns like an old buck...asinine...unkempt...infestable. While I'm on the subject of keeping you guys looking good; if you grow a beard, trim it! Very little in this world is as disgusting as run-a-way growth on a man's face. Go to the mountains drink to excess, eat canned ravioli and raw bear meat if you want to, but don't come back looking like Ted Kazinski (the UNABOMBER) or any other slob. Whiskers around a man's mouth which have become discolored due to food contamination and smoking are beyond unforgivable. I wanna puke just thinking about it. Kira

Whaaa! Whaaa!

If you want to see some freakin' eyebrows trimmed you can do what my ex-wife (a real woman) did: wait until I fall asleep, then put your weight on one leg over my throat so I can't get up and trim them then. If you can't handle that, then just let us men have our intact eyebrows and go cry in a corner somewhere.

+1.Uhmm, I mean my wife.

 

[morepwr]

I am afraid so. While most of them dont grow that long or fast, there are a few that get crazy long! I guess next I will start getting ear hair!

My eyebrows are actually pretty fine and unoffensive. However, I do have some new hairs that are jet-black, massively thick, and grow at an astonishing rate. I cut those. Recently a barber asked me if I wanted her to trim my eyebrows, and I said yes, thinking she would trim the giant black ones. No, she trimmed the whole deal, and I still look like I don't have any eyebrows.

But don't get me started on ear and nose hair.

 

[electrolover]

Na I just shave the unibrow out of the middle.

No way!
In a few years I plan on being able to do a Front to Rear comb-over.
