An Amazon reviewer says: “I love these. They’re a combination of a mini razor (but doesn’t cut too close) and a trimmer, and they last a long time, but I don’t use them often or over a large range of skin. I use them to trim my brows (under the brow) when I don’t have time to pluck. They do a wonderful job.”

When would be the best time to reach for a razor instead of other brow tools?
If you’ve been experiencing irritation with other hair removal methods, it might be a good time to try using an eyebrow razor. “If you’re looking for a quick and easy at-home method to groom your brows, a razor can be a convenient choice,” says Akram. “However, I recommend proceeding with caution, since improper use can cause uneven or patchy skin. In this case it might be better to explore other brow care methods.”

How do you use a razor for eyebrows?
Eyebrow razors can look daunting, but luckily, they’re much easier to use than they look. “To use a razor for your brows, start by holding the skin around your eyebrows taut to create a flat, firm surface,” says Akram. “Shave using small strokes, moving in the direction of hair growth. Be sure to go slowly and carefully around the brow area to reduce the risk of cuts.”
