Re: It offers nothing practical I have recently discovered, being a gentleman of a similiar age to yourself, this issue myself. Personally, I'm less concerned about excessive eye brow hair but more about the thatches that now sprout at an alarming rate from my ears. My solution is pretty simple to both - find a good Turkish barbers. They will clip your eyebrows to a suitable length and then use the 'flame' to singe any ear growth (highly reccommended). The other considerations I found are nose hair - yet to find a suitable solution other than an attachement to my clippers and back hair though veet seems to be doing a good job in removing that. I'm lucky in that I am fair haired if I was darker then I would have probably killed myself by now The irony in all this is that I still cannot grow a full beard without looking like I'm taking part in some Chemotherapy treatment. Life is very cruel.
Immac Order a barrel initially. Should last a month or so until the mothers really start getting a hold. Failing that, Roundup.
