What kind of tweezers do you use?
I went to Duane Reade to buy new ones, and I was so overwhelmed by the selection! 
Slant tip, square tip, point tip, comfort grip. . .
I'm so confused.
Can anyone tell met he advantagese to square vs. slanted vs pointed?
And is Tweezerman worth the money?
I have alway used a Revlon slant tip, but I am wondering if a different kind would do a better job.
Thanks!

Re: What kind of tweezers do you use?
I think I have Revlon Slant Tip haha....and they've been fine for me. I prefer the slant tip to the flat tip, I find it easier to get the hairs....my mom has flat tip ones and I've had trouble when I used them.
Not too helpful I know

No, I appreciate it! Maybe my bad tweezing is just my lack of skills, and not poor tools.

I love my Tweezerman. Get it at BB&B and use a 20% off coupon. Worth the $$$!

I totally think the Tweezerman tweezers are worth the money. I actually have 3 of them. My favorite is the slanted.

Re: What kind of tweezers do you use?
I have mini-tweezermans with a slanted tip. It was a little less expensive then the regular ones but works great. they are not that much smaller then a regular pair of tweezers.

Re: What kind of tweezers do you use?
I have slanted tweezerman and pointed tip tweezerman. I hardly EVER use the pointed tip ones... I HEART the slanted ones!
You can send them back to tweezerman and they sharpen them for you for free, I just can't seem to part with them for long enough to do this..lol

I guess that's why somr peoplr have 3! 
Thanks for all the help ladies.
I still don't know why people use the square. I don't see how that workls.
I may get pointy ones eventually for splinters & things, but I will get the slanty ones tonight.
I have to run to Duane Reade tonight & hopefully they will have them ( I was at a different one earlier,) beacuse I have a wedding tomorrow morning & my waxing place will be closed by the time I get home tonight.
Damn Friday morning wedding--I have to do my eyebrows, fingers , toes AND hair all by myself!

Re: What kind of tweezers do you use?
I have a slanted Anastasia (came in a brow kit I bought) and a slanted no-name.
They both work equally well.

Yes, tweezerman is worth the money. Before I tried them I couldn't understand how they could be that different..but they are.

Re: What kind of tweezers do you use?
Slanted.
My biggest tip is this...
Squeeze them in the package if you can and make sure that the tips line up. If the tips don't meet, you will miss hairs.
