I have one of those too and the first time I used it between the eyebrows on the bridge of my nose, I pulled it away from the bridge of my nose and leaned forward to look closer in the mirror and moved my hand and took off half my eyebrow. In horror, I drove out to see the woman who cuts my hair and asked her if she could get the other eyebrow to match the one I shaved halfway off and she was laughing so hard she almost wet her pants and refused to take off part of the other one because I'd look like an alien. So she said to use an eye pencil and draw it in until it grew back. So, I did. Then after a few weeks when it had grown back in (my hair grows really fast thank goodness), I used it to trim between my eyes again and yep, you guessed it! Took half the same darn eyebrow off again!!! But, other than that, I love that little thing. I pluck the coarse black hairs that I get, but this little tool does clean off everything else.
