I had been using the same pair of tweezers on my eyebrows forever. Loved them. Well, I don't know how, but I somehow lost them. I've tried 3 different replacement pair and they all suck!!

1. The first pair wouldn't grab onto the hairs.
2. The second pair would grab on to tight and essentially cut the hair before pulling it out
2. The third pair had the same problem as the first pair.

I didn't even realize tweezers could be so sucky and now I am missing my old pair even more.

Does anyone have any recs? Some of my eyebrow hairs are SUPER fine, so they need to be able to latch on and pull w/out cutting.

I have the Revlon tweezers too, but I've been thinking about replacing them lately. They don't seem to grab onto the little hairs.

i have the tweezerman tweezers, but honestly, i think they suck. they're good for digging out ingrown hairs, but i very much prefer my plain revlon tweezers.

Rubis, by far makes the best tweezers I've ever used. I actually own multiple pairs and keep them everywhere (my car, makeup bag, house, etc).

I've used Tweezerman before and they are horrible!

I have the pink Tweezermans and I've never found tweezers that even come close to comparing!  They're awesome and get even the finest, tiniest hairs on me.

Ditto to all of this.  I love my cheapy revlons.

ITA.  I had the Tweezermans and didn't see the big deal.  I have pointy tip Revlons that I love.  Slant tips are okay for me but I prefer pointy tip because they are more precise and don't grab random hairs.

I'm glad to see that other people had bad experiences w/ the Tweezerman tweezers. I bought a pair in December and more often than not they cut the hair.

I have the pink tweezermans and I love them too. I used to have tons of the revlon ones, but I am a convert now.

I have the pink tweezermans also. They are great and I have no complaints. For being under $5 they are well worth it.

HUGE 2nd for Rubis!  I have one that they created with Bobbi Brown & will never go back to Tweezerman.

love tweezerman!!! They offer free sharpening, but I've had mine for about 3 years and they don't need sharpening yet. I have the petite set, it's only about $25.

I have this one too.  My DH stole my tweezermans, but I found this one to be just as effecitive, even with thin, little hairs.
