      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.

                  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.

                            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.

                                      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.

                                      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.

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