For the past several days it has felt like something was in one eye causing irritation. Looking even in a magnified mirror I found nothing that caused it.
Then I noticed the length of my eyebrows, yes one hair was that long it went across my eye causing the problem. Now cutting the eyebrowsit no more problems
I regularly trim Mr M’s eyebrows they’ve become quite Neanderthal over the last few years.
I also check in his ears but they’re hair-free so far but I do fastidiously draw the line at checking his nasal hair.
I’m afraid if they became hirsute I’ve simply rename him as Mr Walrus.
My hairdresser gives the eyebrows the short back 'n sides every now & then.
Somehow that looks kinda like an instrument of torture …is it painful if your hand slips.
Turkish barbers have a technique of dipping a cotton bud in methylated spirit, giving it a shake and igniting it.
Ear hair is is instantly singed to nothingness!
I’ve actually tried this technique at home…it works!
Not that I have hairy ears, purely in the interests of research of course…
I found a product that not only does a great job of haircutting, it also comes with an attachment for all body hair & it does a better job on eyebrows than products that are specifically made for eyebrows:
Microtouch Titanium Trim

Depends where it slips. ![]()
Those types of trimmers usually come with a comb attachment so the blades don’t contact skin.
Never shave yer eyebrows because they will only come back quicker and thicker…
Proper blokes pluck em’ don’t be a wuss and get out those tweezers…
Same with unruly nose hair…Plucking nose hair doesn’t half make your eyes water though…
Guys you do make me laugh.
But men have it easy when it comes to pampering and keeping yourself beautiful… er, sorry … ruggedly handsome.
Are you sure! Plucking nose hair is a definite no no in my book. Firstly we need nose hair to filter the air that we breath, secondly, we can die of infection of the brain.
I can be quite ethereal in a certain light ![]()
I shan’t use the Pinocchio type emoji again lest it should be open to misinterpretation…
I still have erotic dreams about that nose.

Disney has much to answer for…![]()

any magician can pull rabbits out of a hat.
A good magician can pull hairs out of his backside
The odd long straggly nose hair that dangles from the nose will not contribute to the filtering d00d, the hairs you speak of are further up the nose and can’t be reached with tweezers…
That sounds a bit girlie to me, I use a pair of needle nose pliers.
They do an excellent job.
It astounds me how the hair you lose off the top of the head suddenly starts sprouting from ears, eyebrows and nose! I suppose it has to go somewhere.
Thanks Bruce, I’ll have a rummage around my toolbox and see what I can find…
