| I think mine are just prone to breaking if I'm not careful - and I can be kind of clumsy, haha. What's this zip pouch about though!? I didn't get one of those! |

I bought their special edition kit that comes with the Classic Stencils (4) and the little scissors...

I haven't tried the stencils yet, though... |

| Awww, cute! I should've done that, I just bought the plain tweezers and I didn't even know they had the kit. That's what I get for impulse buying! Though to be fair I probably wouldn't actually use the other stuff, I'd just think it was pretty. |

| I don't like Tweezerman. I spent all the money and hated it. Didn't work well for me at all. |

What, your's came with a carrying pouch?? I had to buy a drugstore brand of tweezers that come with a pouch and then toss the tweezers and use the pouch for my Anastasias. *CareKate stomps off to sulk* |

| I just bought a pair of Tweezerman tweezers and they grip everything! I hope they will be good for a while though... I'll keep you posted! |

| I'm still liking my Anastasia tweezers that I got, but for those of you who dig Tweezerman's, thought this might be of interest - Sephora has animal-printed Tweezermans now. I saw leopard, zebra and lizard. Not sure if these are a limited-time thing, and also not sure of the price since it wasn't labeled, but I just thought I'd give you guys a heads-up - now we can't go saying that Anastasia ones are necessarily cuter! |

i have not tweezed mine for over 2 years now  dont even know where my tweezer is having done electrolysis  although the pain is a killer in that area  when getting electrolysis. Now just touch up any odd ones 3-4 weeks when i go in for electrolysis. Most of the time they are in shape |

| I too invested in the tweezerman. Due to all the reviews here and on the MA board. HATE HATE HATE, did I say HATE them!? They cut the small hairs, they do not grab them any easier than the $6.00 pair at the local drug store. Would not reccomend and wish I could get my money back. |

I'm sorry you wasted your money, but don't say I didn't try to warn you!  
Seriously, try the Anastasia tweezers from Sephora -- they're the cat's meow, everything that Tweezermans are SUPPOSED to be! http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P69502&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=5746 (hint: if you're interested in trying other Anastasia products, it's more economical to get the tweezers as part of one of her brow-kits).... |

ooops!  just noticed this post now.... what I should have said is that the *Special Edition* kit included the cute little zip pouch. |

| Maybe I bought the wrong ones, but they were no better for me than the Revlon I'd been using. |

I really don't know. Are the tweezers and other things really better than plain, old regular tweezers?
What are your favorite Tweezerman tools? |
I like the tweezers, very easy to use and sharper as well |

| I love my tweezerman tweezers also. I use the slant tip ones and have two so I have a backup to use when the others have been sent in for sharpening. |

| I tried the tweezerman tweezers and found the same thing as some others have- they break the hair before I can pull it out. So then I have that little black dot left on my skin. I am definately going to try out the Anastasia tweezers once I can get to a Sephora! Thanks CareKate! |

Tweezerman used to be good. Their stuff was made in Germany or Switzerland but now they are made in India so you should carefully look at the package. Also if you get the crappy five dollar one its a CRAPPY five dollar tweezer.
A lot of the reviews dont note what kind of hair one is tweezing. The type of hair will depend on the type of tweezer and whether it will work for you so dont tar one brand with the same brush. Nor is the type of tweezer mentioned. Can't do a good review without more info.
The Revlon Platinium tweezer is as good as the old Tweezerman in their heyday. It is sharp! I have several tweezers depending on the type of hair I am plucking. I have Asian hair. |

Thanks for the info on the Rubis tweezers they look slick, as I thought that tweezerman was the only one!  |

OK so I bought the Anastasia tweezers from Sephora in December- LOVE THEM! They get every little hair, even ingrowns! I can't beleive how much of a difference these tweezers make compared to all others. They are pricey though- $30. |

The slanted angle tweezer is def. the best tweezer I have ever used. I can't explain it, but I bought it about 8 years ago and nothing has ever compared since then. I spent 17 bucks 8 years ago . ..well worth the price. You have to try it to believe it, IMO.
It's 100% worth it!! |

| I don't see the buzz about this brand either. Not much different than plain old tweezers to me. |

For 20 years I have been doing a lot of plucking on my eyebrows. Quality tweezers are essential.
I think Tweezerman is much better quality than drug store tweezers, but the very best tweezers are Rubis from Switzerland, in my opinion.
