On this thread our eyebrows get cut at the barbers

It's the way forward for gentlemen of a certain age.


May I add my vote to this also ? A gentlemen looks so much better if he attends to his eyebrow, ear and nasal hair when there is need. I know it must be tedious if there's a beard to take care of as well but it's worth the effort. ;)

Absolutely. And not one of those hill tribe beards that wildly cover all those hirsute sins. Well, apart from your ears. It would have to be a hell of a beard to get up there.

The other day a friend said "Chris, you have a loose eyelash on your nose".
She went to remove it, and exclaimed "Oh god, its attached."


They never taught us about this at school. Sex education prepared us for all manor of changes and patches of hair.
At no point did they add - "...and when you're in your 30s, your eyebrows, nose, and ears will go mad"
 
In my case, careful self-plucking of eyebrows seems to do the trick. Same with ear hair.

For nasal growth, lick the gummed side of a Rizla and stick it onto the top lip, flare nostrils, light paper and do NOT breathe in. Job done.

NB: do not use a king size rizla, unless you want to singe your errant eyebrows and hairline to a smouldering stubble.

and your shoulders, back, and your neck, I have to shave them sometimes ffs
 

I loved having a crew cut. A pair of those lasted me years and saved the cost of many hair cuts. But now my hair is longer there's no way I would try to cut it myself. Funnily enough, the first place that cut my eyebrows gave me the worst haircut I ever had, kind of lop sided bowl. Spot on with the brows though.
 
It's all down to ageing. The hair from one's legs begins to migrate to the back and shoulders, and I can never get the shaving angles right for my back. After leaving the shower I look like I've been repeatedly slashed by a psychotic butcher.

Apologies for the personal nature of this question, please feel free to ignore if too......intimate but have you ever had your back waxed ? Reason I ask is I have my legs done every 4 weeks and its scared all the hair into hiding, I have hardly any regrowth now.
 
Haha great thread :D My fella's eyebrows are slowly going proper mad :D I sometimes wind one back into place. I bought him a nose hair trimmer which he uses sometimes. I remember Stig at Bearded Theory whispering to me 'your fella's got hair ON his nose!' :D and it's true - it grows just down from the bridge of his nose. I just laughed and said 'well he's a middle-aged man, whaddaya expect?' :D

I do ambush him and whip them out every now and again though, when it's really distracting me mid-conversation.:thumbs:

I DID NOT! Did I? blimey, don't remember that. You sure it wasn't someone else less polite? :hmm:
 
In a small shaving mirror, hesitantly and very carefully I just managed, with my razor sharp and scarily pointed stainless steel nail scissors, to trim my ear hair - on both sides. Yay!
 
I've noticed a distinct increase in the soft fine hair on my face. It looks a little like...silvery fur :D

On the plus side, my eyebrows no longer need plucking. My pit hair is also a lot less than it used to be.

Re-arranging of the bodily hair. Yeh. :thumbs:

I suppose I had the female version of the same experience a couple of weeks ago when I went to get my legs waxed and she asked whether she should do my feet while I was there. :oops:

I'm turning into a fucking hobbit :mad:
I've noticed this more and more this summer. The big toe hair is getting ridiculous. I try and pluck them when I remember but mostly they just get shaved.

Also pubes have started going further and further onto my legs. What's that about?

There must be a biological reason for hair getting more prolific as you get older but I can't think of any explanation.

My big toe hair has almost gone. I just looked when I read your post. I'm missing it already. I have hair on my fingers still though. Between the knuckle at the end of my palm and the next one. Quite a lot but not enough for a parting.
 
I have hardly any eyebrows. Even so, what little I have is always untidy.:(
I also get the occasional wild and wiry chin hair popping up that I don't seem to notice it until it's about an inch long :mad:

Enough for a comb-over?

Finger-combovers. They'll be the next thing, hipsters. You read it here first.

Toes, too. 'Toembovers' they'll be called.

I think my barber might have misunderstood me, I asked for a number two back and sides and a number three on top. He might have taken one off each because this is way shorter than I expected. Ho hum!
 
Never been too troubled with nose hair, so far. But I gave to shave my ears regularly. :mad:

Thick tufts of wiry hair grow from inside the ears just behind the blobby bit that sticks out from your face parallel to the sideburns. And long hairs grow from my earlobes. And weirdly, more random white hairs grow vertically from the very top of my ears, like they are trying to emulate Spock. :D

I don't know whether this is due to me being blonde when younger, but all the hair is completely white. :confused:

I use a flexible head electric shaver to defluff them every couple of weeks, and the trimmer attachment to tackle the tufts from inside my ears.

If I don't shave them, it is quite satisfying to pull them out as I'm sat on the train. Just grab them between the fingernails and join them out.

I'm sure my pubes are getting bushier with age too.

A small quiff maybe. A Fiff as they will come to be known.
