(Part 2) Best hair removal tweezers according to redditors

Only the blade is disposable, plus they have a close to final prototype, this is not a terrible product. It's gimmicky as shit, like these things that every beauty company seems to be making these days, but it's a deliverable product that would probably sell decent volume.

Shitty product? yeah, kind of; Get better lighting for your house. But it's an actual deliverable product that doesn't promise anything ridiculous and actually does something useful, even if gimmicky.

Go get them threaded. Ask them to clean and shape them up, nothing too extreme. After that, all you have to pluck is the strays that fall outside the main shape. I would keep going to the threading salon every 3 weeks or so, at least until you get them dialed in.

You don't want to go too thin either. Two reasons for this: extremely thin brows aren't in style and can look trashy, and slightly thicker (but nicely shaped) brows can help balance any stronger facial bone structure.

Finally, invest in good tweezers (these are pretty much the gold standard) and a nice eyebrow pencil to color in the brows. You can do this even if you're wearing little or no makeup.

Here's what I got, though I was going to consolidate it in another post this week.

So I posted this on Reddit last month after I finally got around to getting the gear we needed. There are many non-emergency items that go in the emergency kit. This guy's post really made an impact on my way of thinking. I see the car kit as not exclusively for EMERGENCIES but for all situations where you need something that you would normally have at home and you simply just don't have it, like a pair of socks or knife and fork. There are two parts to the car kit, the Emergency Car Kit (which goes in a pack in the back of the car) and the Supplemental Car Kit which goes in between the front seats which is for a specific emergency where there's an accident and you need to get out and help someone asap. Some of the stuff is duplicated, because I like redundancy and they're needed in both scenarios: asap (supplemental) and general purpose (main car kit).

Supplemental Car Kit:

• Road flares (electric and olden fire type kind)
  
• Small first aid kit
  
• High visibility reflector vest - for when you need to cross the highway and not get hit by other cars, especially at night.
  
• Car Jumper - This needs to be charged and ready to go.
  
• Hand crank flashlight - Not very bright, but it's for dire emergency where you don't need to worry about batteries.
  
• Inverter for AC power - I just happen to have one of these that I got a while back. I think it's more of a luxury item but can still be handy in a pinch. You can charge a laptop on it along with phones or whatever.
  
• Garbage bag - Not for emergencies, but for picking up garbage when you're in a place that has trash all over and humans suck. This makes picking up garbage easy, so there's no excuses.
  
• Gloves - For picking up garbage, doing car work, getting in fight (I'm serious) and pulling someone out of a broken window.
  
• Parachute cord - An impulse item. I always need the stuff when I don't have it.
  
• Knife - You can never have too many knives
  
• Tire pressure gauge
  
  Here are the additions to the Emergency Car Kit:
  
  Emergency Car Kit:
  
  
• Small back pack - My thinking is that this is better than a big plastic tub. In the event of a true emergency it's ideal to be able to grab & go, which you can't do with a tub.
  
• Windproof matches - Because.
  
• Knife & Fork Kit - You need utensils (for each person) in the event that you need to eat. There are many non-emergency items that go in the emergency kit.
  
• Steel tweezers - because the plastic ones in first aid kits suck ass.
  
• Extra AA & AAA batteries
  
• 2 Garbage bags

just bought these + clippers and ingrown toenail thingy. absolutely love them! highly recommend.


Harperton Pluckit - Professional Tweezers Set - Slant + Pointed Precision Tips https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IEIJQZY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_n854AbFB7DQPY

Ceramic Tweezers They don't get hot if you're using them to hold wires wile soldering. They're non conductive. They have a nice fine point that's great for hitting buttons and stuff. Every quad builder should have one IMO

i use these, maybe it would help? i find they work really well to get tiny hairs that are barely visible.

https://www.amazon.com/Onyx-Professional-Pack-Mini-Tweezers/dp/B06X3XZLW3

There are lots of other options for extractor tools though

Heck, screwdriver sets are cheap too. I'm not even sure why you would go directly to a Swiss Army Knife. Those things have scissors and wine bottle openers. Fine if you're having a picnic at the base of the alps with a big titty Swiss Miss. If you have money for a swiss army knife $50 Leatherman tool, then you had money for a massive list of tools including:

• $21 Screwdriver set
  
• $18 Plier set with Diagonal cutters.
  
• $9 Actual Tweezers, for, I don't know... Eyebrows or sadistic nose hair torture. Or just don't buy these and use the money on tax
  
  Or if you really have to "hammer it in there." Then spend the money on a hammer and hit yourself with it.

Here is a picture of my tweezers that look like yours and my new set that I replaced them with. https://imgur.com/N0uqVgW

----
I loved my pair like those! The stopped working as well after 15 years or more. I use them on really fine hairs.


I have bought so many trying to replace them. I recently FINALLY found some that work as well.

----
I bought a set of them from Amazon by Tweezerguru.


This is the new, just as good, set https://www.amazon.com/Tweezers-Set-4-piece-TweezerGuru-Stainless/dp/B075HJ1WNR/ for $10

----
** Edited to add that while they look like La Cross, they aren't ... I tried those because they looked like the same ones, but they would not grip my fine hairs.

I bought it years ago in a store in Indonesia...
But it looks like this, I squeeze the nose using my finger on a side and using the hair plucker on the other side.

I want those tweezers, whatever they are. Are they something like this, do you think?

I have this pair from Amazon, and they're great!

This pair is made fromsurgical grade steel

Here is my routine with items and products that work for me.

    I have a few resources that have specific guides, I will post them later. I hope this is somewhat helpful and if you have any questions, let me know.

Lmfao you’re not dumb. They’re not hard to separate at all! Very easy for me but it also depends on what tools you used. I bought these tweezers: Lash Extension Tweezers Straight... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YCR918R?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

They’re beginner friendly but not to use for the long haul

I’ve had similar tweezers from Sally’s Beauty Supply, here’s some similar ones.

I used my gf's eyebrow tweezer (the flat head tweezer kind) to get it out and put it back in. Just make sure to disinfect them for your S.O. to use again, or better yet, buy your own :)

It'll be a while before I can put together a comprehensive post but think of the basics as items that would get you to the nearest ambulance.

OK, this became a comprehensive post. :P

Here are pics of the stocked kit. (a few items OTC meds are missing and need to be restocked)

https://imgur.com/a/fCVcp

Disclosure: I have enough basic first-aid training to know my limitations; an RN friend of mine helped me build this kit.

Meds

• Benadryl and an epipen(you'll need an Rx for this) for allergic reactions
  
  
• OTC Imodium/Pepto pills (since dehydration from vomiting or diarrhea will kill you)
  
  
• OTC Advil, Tylenol, Naproxen (not absolutely necessary but the first two can help bring a fever down and Naproxen can bring inflammation down...more comfort items, they don't take up a lot of space)
  
• triple antibiotic ointment in single use disposable packs (it's basically Polysporin but you avoid contaminating a whole tube by using individual packs; I try to find similar packaging with other stuff)
  
  
• BZK wipes (for disinfecting scrapes and such)
  
  
• sterile saline (small bottle or disposable sterile bullets for flushing out wounds or as an eye wash)
  
  
• non-enteric, standard 325mg Aspirin in individual foil packs (I've read that chewing these at the time of a heart attack and in the month after will improve survivability by as much as 23%)
  
  
• if hypoglycemia or diabetes are factors, pack plenty of Dex4 sugar tablets and whatever other supplies you might need
  
  

  Misc.
  

  
  

• 3M Steri-Strip closures to keep a deep cut from opening up further (forget surgical glue or stitches; you'll only seal dirt and bacteria into a wound)
  
  
• couple of Tegaderm films would be good to cover wounds.
  
  
• stretch gauze
  
  
• sterile gauze
  
  
• med tape
  
  
• Advanced, flexible bandaids, large (forget fabric or regular crappy bandages; if you carry any at all, get these)
  
  
• Advanced blister bandaids (similar to above material but different form-factor)
  
  
• QuikClot sponge
  
  
• triangle bandage with safety pins
  
  
• pair of EMT shears (don't use a knife as you risk injury while cutting clothes or bandages)
  
  
• Sliver Gripper tweezer with clip
  
  
• pair of disposable nitrile gloves in a small sealed bag
  
  
• water purification tabs (safe drinking water is critical; better this than having to use the Imodium!)
  
  
• emergency blanket (statistics are dramatic on reduced survivability with even the slightest hypothermia)
  
  The point of this kit is to get someone to the nearest medical help. You can get a replacement pair of nitrile gloves, more gauze or whatever when you get to the ambulance or hospital. Some of the stuff is for keeping conditions from getting worse (sliver removal, band-aids, blister cushions, ointment) which might be viewed as "comfort" items not "first aid" but in more rough environments, an infected cut could kill you so I put it in.
  

Tiny bit cheaper on Amazon, more for two, if you're already getting other stuff to qualify for free shipping.

If you have, or can buy a pair of splinter removal tweezers, they work very well to remove, and reapply LEGO stickers, I have done it on a few old sets.

These are the exact ones I have, and they work nicely.

Good Tweezers, if you plan to work on your own house you will get a nasty splinter eventually. Better to have precise tweezers beforehand.

Go and get your eyebrows threaded by a professional once. It's pretty inexpensive. They will will able to create a shape that suits the shape of your face. Then you can maintain that shape by plucking out strays that grow back.

If you're having trouble plucking, you probably just need better tweezers that will actually grasp the small hairs you want to pull out. Instead of purchasing a kit like the one you've shown, invest in something like Tweezerman or Japonesque.

Better still, you could make maintenance easier by learning how to thread yourself. This is a good tutorial. It will take a but of practice, but the results are much more accurate and defined brows.
