I have them too. They are a great little tool. Good for snipping yarn when knitting or crocheting also. Are yours the ones you pinch together and place a cap on the points ? That's the kind I have , don't know if there are any others.

Bless you heart Ditter, so sorry you and The Ripper have to join hands again. Makes for a very disgusting time when you think you are about through. Thinking about you and your extra work. Gerbie

Time to take a break before I put Jack the ripper to work.I have to take out every seam and start over. You can be sure I will make sure I am using the right row for my guidelines this time!!! :|

Me too Leota, when I read the last page and noticed some were talking about eye brows, I thought o.k. am I with the right group here or did I tune in to something else. lol

Where do you get eyebrow shavers? I have never heard of them.

Oh I am so sorry. Please take a long break, and have a cup of tea to come you down before you rip all those seams out. God bless.
