Old Man Guide to Grooming

For a lot of large beard guys, it’s their entire personality
Sir I have spent over 200 dollars on various pretentious oils. Allow me to simulate a personality. I have literally paid the fee.

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.
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. 🧔
️I was going to say, if we’re talking old man we’ll need to flip the green circles.

You can cut your wild-ass eyebrows!

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.

You can cut your wild-ass 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.

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.

It camouflages my multiple chins.
And as a fellow fat faced fella, it is the only way to establish a jawline.

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

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)

I've heard some Turkish barbers use fire for this.
They probably have a method but I cant recommend using a match for ear hair. Made a cool sound though

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.

My partners barber always asks if he should do the eyebrows too
I asked my barber to shave the gap between them at first. Then he responded with "can I just do the whole thing? It'll look sick"
It did in fact, look great

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.

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. -

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

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