    You can cut your wild-ass eyebrows!

    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

        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.

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

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

            Makes sense. Outside of people who get unibrows, it really would not have been typical for guys to do eyebrow maintenance when I was growing up. Not sure if that's changed now...younger guys seem more into fashion and grooming these days in general.

            It wasn't for me either growing up, but good grooming has many benefits both personally and professionally. I look back on some old pictures wish I did more earlier.

                    I remember when I was a beginner old person, I was getting a haircut from a guy (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.

                      We know we can. But it gives me this "Old Wise Owl" look.

                        Sir I have spent over 200 dollars on various pretentious oils. Allow me to simulate a personality. I have literally paid the fee.

                          Iv been blessed with perfect eyebrows. Never had to groom them, they don't get busy, or become a unibrow.

                          I never thought much about it till I got a job that had a girl obsessed with make up. She got really pissy over my perfect eye brows cause she had a bad unibrow problem.

                          Since then iv come to find most people iv asked say I have weirdly perfect eyebrows.

                          Only good part of my face really. So we take the wins where we can get them!

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

                                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.

                                  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.

                                    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.

                                      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.

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

                                        That take is not-so-hot. It should just be part of the deal. If I don't trim my eyebrows regularly, there is inevitably some wild ones that really take off. Once I can start annoyingly detecting my eyeglass frames with them, it's definitely time for a trim.

                                          And as a fellow fat faced fella, it is the only way to establish a jawline.
