Welcome to our thread - I still HATE my new tweezers 

[charmaine]

Sadly the new sets of tweezers don't pull properly so I'm left with a sore area  which is becoming noticeable so will need to buy yet more tweezers .......... I saw some for £29.00 recently 

Wow, that's expensive!

Do the tweezers that you're not happy with have sloping or straight ends?

[CLKD]

I have a set of each  but can't get a grip with either 

[charmaine]

Hmmm...might be worth trying a different brand. I have a very good pair with slanted ends which only cost a few pounds from Boots (bought a few years ago though) - the brand is 'Erbe'.

i hate all the fine downy hair on my face...what to do with this?I try using well known hair remover but not entorely happy with the result .

[lady57]

I leave the fine downy hair as it only shows up in the magnifying side of the shaving mirror in the bathroom. The ****ly whiskers CLKD, you need to let them grow at least 2mm so you have something to grip and they come out satisfactorily. If you try to get them as soon as you feel the little point you will fail and just get a sore chin like squeezing a spot.

Jane I know, Hubby says I'm 'excavating again'  but these tweezers break the ends however long I let them grow 

[lady57]

then you are gripping too near the end, i used to do that. Grip at skin level and don't put too much pressure or the tweezers will 'cut' them off. Took me ages to get the knack.

As for the downy hair that I can see on each side of my face, well it's pale so I only take the dark hairs from those areas

Mu  hubby is a clockmaker, for the tiny parts of the finer movements he has swiss made tweezers at over 30 quid a throw (per pair) when he's had enough of them, IE they wont pick up pins finer than a hair..... I nick 'em.... they do me fine.... (I've got a pair of edge to edge cutters that I nicked for trimming the cats claws too)

I get my eyebrows, top lip and chin threaded every 3 weeks and use tweezers to keep obvious hairs at bay in between appts.

Tweezers go blunt eventually. I had a fantastic pair from Boots - very cheap.  Wish I'd bought several of them as when I tried to replace them the new ones were rubbish.

I used a hair removal cream on Thursday evening, already dark hairs are sprouting from under my nose and it's so sore to keep pulling  ....... I also have long black ones from my nostrils  - OUCH   

[CLKD]

There you go

Had eyebrows, chin and upper lip threaded on monday so atm I look ok....
