Eyebrow razors? YIKES! I usually just ignore mine, and they're pretty substantial - just don't like the pain....but maybe I'll pick some up to use for my (frequent) un-sewing
How come I could give birth 7 times with no meds, but can't stand having my eyebrows done? Even "threading" which my dd told me didn't hurt as much, really DID!
I learned a trick years ago for dealing with the family unibrow. Take a wrung out, hot wash cloth, (tap water! No microwaves here ladies...), and hold it to the eyebrow area for a couple minutes. You can now pluck pain free. It takes a few minutes longer for my sister to feel no pain, so adjust to you. You're welcome. Anything I can do to prevent pain, is my pleasure. ;)
P. S. Do not do this just before you leave the house. I did once and spent the first half hour of a party explaining why my eyebrows were bright red. (After that, so was my face!) LOL!
