    And nostrils. My life is regret.

      Hot take: men’s barbers should have jurisdiction over all these areas as routine grooming.

      They’re easy to do yourself though. I do them regularly as well as my ears.

  We know we can. But it gives me this “Old Wise Owl” look. Puffy eyebrows

  First time I went to my last barber, he was almost done cutting my hair and said “do you want me to trim your eyebrows?”

  I said, “hmm, no, I think they’re alright.”

  He stared for a couple seconds. Then said, “…Imma trim them.” And that’s how I got my first eyebrow trim.

    At the barbershop I went to regularly, the women barbers would ask if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed and I always declined. One visit a guy cuts my hair and trims them without asking. What the he’ll was I thinking? I no longer look like the Winter Warlock

    Next time do the ears and nose too. Your partner will appreciate it.

  Do most younger men groom eyebrows these days?

  • partial_accumen@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I stopped needing regular haircuts almost a decade ago

    What does this mean? Did your hair stop growing or did you just adopt a job/lifestyle where you don’t care how long or uneven it is?

    • CidVicious@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I stopped growing hair and now I shave my head.

      I stopped needing regular haircuts when I turned 18 and didn’t have to get my head buzz cut like my mom wanted anymore.

  I remember when I was a beginner old person, I was getting a haircut from a dude (a rarity at the barbershop I go to), and he asked me if I wanted to trim up my eyebrows.

  I was a little confused, because I thought that was something like a spa treatment, and I was worried he wanted to overdo me and I’d have like, that drawn-on eyebrows style. “I dunno, do I need it?”

  “It’s just grooming, dude.” He said. That always stuck with me. It is just grooming, dude.

    Just grooming. That’s good advice. We old bastards should trim everything. I didn’t realize I had a wired chest patch that would stick out of my t-shirt. Once my wife pointed it out I look way less stupid.

  My barber trims up my eyebrows every time I get a haircut.

  • BenLeMan@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Mine, too, and when he doesn’t I ask him to do it. Literally shaves ten years off my face.

  Daily shave? No, I’m a man, I have a big fucking bushy beard. Shaving would get me thrown out of the tacticalbeardownersclub. 🧔‍♀️

  • Iapetus@slrpnk.net ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    What’s tactical about your beard? Are you hiding a swiss army chin full of knives or something?

    • baggachipz@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      For a lot of large beard guys, it’s their entire personality

  My entire body except for my crotch is in the red circle. And my eyebrows? Sometimes I like to brush them up so they look even more bushy

  source
• Pulptastic@midwest.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I trim my nose and ear hair, my wife plucks the big ones on my ears, but I do not touch my big beautiful bushy eyebrows. I have eyebrow one hair so long I’ve named it.

    You can’t say that and then not tell us the name.

  Jeremy Clarkson gets his eyebrows trimmed

  Good thing I’ve noted this now and shall keep an eye out as mine get more unruly

    I had someone doing a haircut “take the wow” out of my brows once. I didn’t even realize other people could tell. Been trimming the wild ones ever since.

    source
• sCrUM_MASTER@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I don’t cut my hair (hate it being touched by other people), pluck my eyebrows every week or so to prevent a unibrow, and shave my face once or twice a week (when I have something on or going into the office). My hairline is fine for now but as I get older I’ll probably end up shaving it all off and going bald

  …is it normal to have to trim your eyebrows? i have never in my life touched mine and they’ve always stayed the same normal length

  source

  • sugarfoot00@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You must be young. Trust me, as you age hair starts creeping out of places you wouldn’t expect and your eyebrows attempt to devour your face.

    source
  • hansolo@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You reach a certain age and then, one day, BAM. Some crazy thick-ass course hair 2 inches long comes sticking outta your face. 3 days later, it finds a friend. Then another.

    You forget about it and. 3 months later you look like you’re dad and his dad, and have no idea how it happened.

    For some people, it is. I only shave a tiny portion to make my features look a bit more pleasing but I don’t reshape.

    source
• Harvey656@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Ha, jokes on you, i haven’t shaved or cut my hair in years! My eyebrows however get a daily pluck. Can’t get my beauty sleep with my eye mustaches touching my pillow.

  I am almost 70. If anybody goes near my eyebrows, there will be trouble. It’s silly, kinda. When I was a wee lad I heard the stories of Hercules and him losing strength when his hair was cut. Through the decades I had to conform at times (hair and beard) but I never cut my eyebrows, my perceived strength hidden away in them. They are now very bushy and like to grow everywhere. I love it.

  Uhhh phrasing

  source
• AstaKask@lemmy.cafe ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Gf is on eyebrow duty because she enjoys plucking those extra thick long ones out. Otherwise I’d do it myself. Although there will come a time when I just let em go wild and embrace the old man look.

  once when I was like 7 I took scissors to my eyelashes because one got in my eyeball

  (sidenote why is scissors spelled like that?? what’s wrong with ‘sizzers’, it looks like a much more badass word than science sores)
