Is it just my genetics or do any other 40+ guys start getting a couple of eyebrow hairs that don't stop growing. I gotta remember to trim them every so often, before they become obviously twice as long as anything around them. Excellent and very true.

Plus, it grows back soft - unlike razored prickles. Shave if you're a model and nobody will be touching you more than 6 hours post-shave. Arguments for having a friend (or heck, an enemy) do it are that the right wax makes a huge difference (salons insist on their own favorite system, often not what's best for your skin type). Almost as important, at home you can ingest appropriate pain-reduction tablets, liquids etc. beforehand and not have to worry about getting home.

And I have a personal rule that I think every single teenage boy should follow: Don't even bother growing facial hair until you're at least 18. You're not foolin' anyone. What about back hair?

I once told him that I would withhold certain things from him until he let me pluck him and make him look decent and less scary looking. What's worse is that he actually had to think about it for a minute or two. Eventually he opted for the tweezers. Every few months I have to wrestle my husband to the ground to tame his wild unibrow.

I haven't invested in any rotary trimmers for my nose yet. I actually use the scissors on my Gerber multi-tool (to make the process a little more macho). I probably won't be as brave when I reach 45 and need to trim my ears though. Heh, this is awesome. I haven’t invested in any rotary trimmers for my nose yet.

Mine was a Navy barber. $0.50 got you two minutes with the buzzer. Here I was at 5 ready for the military. :-) Luckily it evolved to going to the town barber, when men hang out. If you were lucky, one of the guys left one of those "special" magazines on the table or in the chair, instead of putting it back on the shelf. "Really honey, I subscribe to them for work!"
