Tweezing.

I'm sure if, like me, you've spent any time trying to shape your eyebrows or pluck that one elusive hair from your chin or other unmentionable place, you've experienced the frustration of tweezers that just aren't up to the challenge. On the face of it (pun intended), making a pair of tweezers seems simple enough. But in practice, it's anything but simple. I've used too may pairs of tweezers that just weren't capable of doing what I bought them for.

Well, quite by accident I discovered the absolute best pair of tweezers I've ever used. And while I certainly don't intend this to sound like an advertisement for a particular product1, I have to admit this is by far the best pair of tweezers I've ever used, and believe me, I've used a few in my time.

These tweezers are manufactured in the USA by Tweezerman, and you can find information on the company and the particular tweezers I use here. These tweezers are not inexpensive, my pair cost me $18, but they are worth every penny, and seem to latch onto those errant eyebrow hairs that are so difficult to tweeze with your common-or-garden drug-store, mass produced variety. Tweezerman claims that their Slant Tweezers are "Positively the finest general use tweezer in the world", and I would strongly agree with that statement.

Another nice thing about the tweezers is that Tweezerman will sharpen them for free (minus S&H), so they really stand behind their products.

1 I am in no way associated with Tweezerman nor do I receive any form of remuneration from them for mentioning their products - phew, that's taken care of the disclaimer!
