"Should I do the eyebrows" .. the barber whispered.

[Mick Mac]

Is one some sort of metrosexual if your eyebrows are trimmed..do you risk barber shop shame if you were to proactively ask for your eyebrows being attended to.

This thread was prompted by a photo of Bernard Ingham from Maggie's funeral. He obviously doesn't hear the barber's whispered question.

Real men wear whiskers over their eyes. Said Bernard (not really)

[Saffron]

Haha, I saw his eyebrows too. How could anyone miss them?! But, hey, even Scorsese occasionally gets his trimmed, so I reckon it's ok. Personally, if dear Mr Saff ever ends up looking like that, I'll trim his eyebrows in his sleep, bless 'im.

Scorsese was dining at the table behind ours in a restaurant in NYC. He looked distinctly like a Marx brother - as in Groucho not Karl. Trim. Eye curtains are so unbecoming.

My dad used to say that it's a sign that you're getting old when the barber asks you if you want the hair in your ears done.

He hasn't... yet.

And nostril hair.....

Oh come on, some things in life are priceless rites of passage

A hair cut, then a beard trim

Having a flaming taper burn the ear hairs

The eyebrows done

All in one visit

All unmissable IMHO

Nose, ears and brows. Get yourself a trimmer and do it at home. It's not metrosexual, it's essential.

Has anyone seen Sir Bernard Ingham's lately?

Guys, it's just good grooming. Women go through life having things waxed and plucked and groomed and creamed and painted and zapped with all sorts of gizmos. It's just maintenance.

[The Minkey]

I've never been plucked or waxed or creamed or painted or zapped by anyone else. I haven't lived!

[charliecharlie]

it's one thing having your eyebrows trimmed guys, but please please no no no NOT the plucked eyebrow thing that's creeping in everywhere

here's one example where the plucked look has gone way to far... bless 'im

give me a manly monobrow over a poncey tidy look any day
