Old Man Guide to Grooming

You forgot the red circles around the ears.

And nostrils. My life is regret.
- Hot take: men's barbers should have jurisdiction over all these areas as routine grooming.
And nostrils.

We know we can. But it gives me this "Old Wise Owl" look.

First time I went to my last barber, he was almost done cutting my hair and said "do you want me to trim your eyebrows?"

I said, "hmm, no, I think they're alright."

He stared for a couple seconds. Then said, "...Imma trim them." And that's how I got my first eyebrow trim.

At the barbershop I went to regularly, the women barbers would ask if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed and I always declined. One visit a guy cuts my hair and trims them without asking. What the he'll was I thinking? I no longer look like the Winter Warlock

Do most younger men groom eyebrows these days?

I stopped needing regular haircuts almost a decade ago

I stopped needing regular haircuts almost a decade ago
What does this mean? Did your hair stop growing or did you just adopt a job/lifestyle where you don't care how long or uneven it is?
- I stopped growing hair and now I shave my head.

My barber trims up my eyebrows every time I get a haircut.

Mine, too, and when he doesn't I ask him to do it. Literally shaves ten years off my face.

I remember when I was a beginner old person, I was getting a haircut from a guy (a rarity at the barbershop I go to), and he asked me if I wanted to trim up my eyebrows.

I was a little confused, because I thought that was something like a spa treatment, and I was worried he wanted to overdo me and I'd have like, that drawn-on eyebrows style. "I dunno, do I need it?"

"It's just grooming, dude." He said. That always stuck with me. It is just grooming, dude.

Daily shave? No, I'm a man, I have a big fucking bushy beard. Shaving would get me thrown out of the tacticalbeardownersclub. 🧔‍♀️

What's tactical about your beard? Are you hiding a swiss army chin full of knives or something?
- For a lot of large beard guys, it’s their entire personality
- It camouflages my multiple chins.

I was going to say, if we’re talking old man we’ll need to flip the green circles.

i dont cut my hair or beard im going for that crazy mountain man that eats raw racoon look yk

You guys don't get monobrows? Lucky.

My entire body except for my crotch is in the red circle. And my eyebrows? Sometimes I like to brush them up so they look even more bushy

I don't cut my hair (hate it being touched by other people), pluck my eyebrows every week or so to prevent a unibrow, and shave my face once or twice a week (when I have something on or going into the office). My hairline is fine for now but as I get older I'll probably end up shaving it all off and going bald

I trim my nose and ear hair, my wife plucks the big ones on my ears, but I do not touch my big beautiful bushy eyebrows. I have eyebrow one hair so long I’ve named it.

Pretty fucking disgusting.
- Smells like weak browed bitch in here. At least your name is not "DrFemaleBodyInspector" or sth like that but still, boomer ass name, smh...

Ha, jokes on you, i haven't shaved or cut my hair in years! My eyebrows however get a daily pluck. Can't get my beauty sleep with my eye mustaches touching my pillow.

My wife does my eyebrows every now and then.

I pretty much shampoo my whole head

...is it normal to have to trim your eyebrows? i have never in my life touched mine and they've always stayed the same normal length

You must be young. Trust me, as you age hair starts creeping out of places you wouldn't expect and your eyebrows attempt to devour your face.
You reach a certain age and then, one day, BAM. Some crazy thick-ass course hair 2 inches long comes sticking outta your face. 3 days later, it finds a friend. Then another.
You forget about it and. 3 months later you look like you're dad and his dad, and have no idea how it happened.

I am almost 70. If anybody goes near my eyebrows, there will be trouble. It’s silly, kinda. When I was a wee lad I heard the stories of Hercules and him losing strength when his hair was cut. Through the decades I had to conform at times (hair and beard) but I never cut my eyebrows, my perceived strength hidden away in them. They are now very bushy and like to grow everywhere. I love it.

Gf is on eyebrow duty because she enjoys plucking those extra thick long ones out. Otherwise I'd do it myself. Although there will come a time when I just let em go wild and embrace the old man look.

but old man eyebrows are hot

once when I was like 7 I took scissors to my eyelashes because one got in my eyeball

(sidenote why is scissors spelled like that?? what's wrong with 'sizzers', it looks like a much more badass word than science sores)
