Best tweezers ever?

Post by fillerbunny » Tue Nov 09, 2010 5:45 pm

Recommendations for your favourite (UK-available) tweezers please! Most accurate, long-lasting, value for money, and ones that don't have you going for the same stubby hair time and time again - that sort of thing :)

Thanks!

Tweezerman!

I got mine for xmas last year and I love them. They could do with some sharpening though cuz they aren't working the same as they did.

Total thumbs up though!

They work better when they are sharp cuz they pick up hairs easier. They're the best!

When tweezers are too sharp, I tend to 'clip' hairs in two :? I have a pretty blunt tweezer (just regular drugstore one) that I can put a lot of tension on without snapping hairs of :i10:

I don't think I could go back to unbranded tweezers. Tweezerman are THE tweezers! They're pricey, but you notice the difference in them.

I thought it was a UK thing. Bloody hell, bugger that! I couldn't wait 4-6 weeks for my tweezers to come back!

Isn't it the inside of them that get sharpened?

I don't want to send them off at all, but to the USA seems too far and will take too long. I haven't found a UK address.

If there is one, can you post it here please? Much thanks.
