A Plucky Post About Tweezers

Now, who knew that you needed to spend $20 to get a good pair of tweezers?

Have you ever noticed that all my posts are about me telling you to spend too much money on products? Why is that, do you think? Could it be because I am the world’s biggest beauty snob and I have poor spending habits?

Well, yes, that’s part of it.

But it’s also because I have tried everything under the sun and oftentimes it turns out that you do get what you pay for. Now, don’t get me wrong. There are times when cheap is better. For example, remember I told you that my favorite mascara was the now-defunct Illegal Lengths by Maybelline? And also? When I am not using a Shick Intuition razor, I use super-cheap hair conditioner in place of shaving cream. Works just as well as shave cream, if not better, and it’s cheaper. So go get the cheapest conditioner out there. I am talking the Suave 99 cent bottle. Slather it on and shave away. Your legs will be soft, too.

So now that I have redeemed myself by giving you cheap shaving tips, I will go on to talk about the Tweezerman Tweezer.

I don’t even remember how I discovered it, but somewhere I remember hearing someone say, "You need a Tweezerman!" and of course I listened.

Tweezerman is a beauty supply company that also makes manicure tools, eyelash curlers, shaving and facial products and stuff like that. But I would assume that their claim to fame is their tweezers. Their slant tweezer has won Allure magazine’s Best of Beauty product award seven years in a row. And for good reason.

These tweezers are precise. And efficient. Once you have used them just one time, if you go back to other tweezers you’ll feel like you’re trying to tweeze with spaghetti noodles or something. Seriously. The Tweezerman is sharper, stronger and aligned perfectly. And they come in a ton of colors, including pink, which is all you need to sell me.

They are $20, and come with a lifetime guarantee. And they will sharpen your tweezers for free, as well! Shipping and handling for this service is free, too.

Their point tweezer is good for ingrown hair, which thank heavens I don’t have to deal with yet. Am just waiting for that shoe to drop. Anyway, it sells for $22, and only comes in a silver color. So I will have to deal with the heartbreak of ingrown hair and a non-pink tweezer all at once. I will think about that tomorrow.

If you go on tweezerman.com, you may become wildly tempted to try their other products. And if you decide to become a Luddite and not go on the computer anymore, you can be assured that Tweezerman can be found all over the place. Try any drug store. Even my CVS in my tiny town has them.

Tweezerman, man. It’s where it’s at. It’s where hair isn’t.
