Get a grip! Good tweezers do…

It’s amazing the difference a good tweezers make if you are trying to pluck hair (or even get a splinter out). Precision tweezers have jaws with face surfaces that meet flat without any gaps. Generally, they are stainless steel, as plated steel will not always meet flat. Also, the best tweezers have longer handles so that the same squeeze from your fingers translates into a tighter grip at the jaws.

Dovo/Solingen professional tweezers come in three jaws styles: slant, straight and pointed. Flat tweezers have a wider surface which will grab hair easier. Point tweezers make it easier if you need to get under the skin a little. Slant tweezers are by far and away the most popular as they give you both the flat surface and the point so you can go after ingrown hairs or slivers equally as well and still have surface to grab with…

R.I.P. – The Normandy Nail Clip?... Or not?... I am happy to report that the earlier memorial for the Normandy Nail Clip seems to have been premature.

For those not familiar, the Normandy Nail Clip is a thin body nail clip with a unique design that keeps it very flat when closed so that it is not bulky in pants pockets. Stay tuned for further information about ETA and pricing…
