      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 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 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.

      I stopped needing regular haircuts almost a decade ago

      What does this mean? Did your hair stop growing or did you just adopt a job/lifestyle where you don’t care how long or uneven it is?

          Gotcha. Also, I didn’t answer your question. Yes, I groom my eyebrows. If I didn’t they’d grow into a single overly bushy unibrow.

            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!

              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.

            Perhaps, but in my mind a haircut is a service you pay for. You go somewhere for a haircut, you cut your hair at home.

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

    Ha, jokes on you, i haven’t shaved or cut my hair in years! My eyebrows however get a daily pluck. Can’t get my beauty sleep with my eye mustaches touching my pillow.

    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 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 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.

    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.

    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.

      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
