That take is not-so-hot. It should just be part of the deal. If I don't trim my eyebrows regularly, there is inevitably some wild ones that really take off. Once I can start annoyingly detecting my eyeglass frames with them, it's definitely time for a trim.
At the barbershop I went to regularly, the women barbers would ask if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed and I always declined. One visit a guy cuts my hair and trims them without asking. What the he'll was I thinking? I no longer look like the Winter Warlock
Makes sense. Outside of people who get unibrows, it really would not have been typical for guys to do eyebrow maintenance when I was growing up. Not sure if that's changed now...younger guys seem more into fashion and grooming these days in general.

It wasn't for me either growing up, but good grooming has many benefits both personally and professionally. I look back on some old pictures wish I did more earlier.
I remember when I was a beginner old person, I was getting a haircut from a guy (a rarity at the barbershop I go to), and he asked me if I wanted to trim up my eyebrows.
I was a little confused, because I thought that was something like a spa treatment, and I was worried he wanted to overdo me and I'd have like, that drawn-on eyebrows style. "I dunno, do I need it?"
"It's just grooming, dude." He said. That always stuck with me. It is just grooming, dude.
Just grooming. That's good advice. We old bastards should trim everything. I didn't realize I had a wired chest patch that would stick out of my t-shirt. Once my wife pointed it out I look way less stupid.
I don't cut my hair (hate it being touched by other people), pluck my eyebrows every week or so to prevent a unibrow, and shave my face once or twice a week (when I have something on or going into the office). My hairline is fine for now but as I get older I'll probably end up shaving it all off and going bald
I trim my nose and ear hair, my wife plucks the big ones on my ears, but I do not touch my big beautiful bushy eyebrows. I have eyebrow one hair so long I’ve named it.
You reach a certain age and then, one day, BAM. Some crazy thick-ass course hair 2 inches long comes sticking outta your face. 3 days later, it finds a friend. Then another.
You forget about it and. 3 months later you look like you're dad and his dad, and have no idea how it happened.
I had someone doing a haircut "take the wow" out of my brows once. I didn't even realize other people could tell. Been trimming the wild ones ever since.
Ha, jokes on you, i haven't shaved or cut my hair in years! My eyebrows however get a daily pluck. Can't get my beauty sleep with my eye mustaches touching my pillow.
I am almost 70. If anybody goes near my eyebrows, there will be trouble.
It’s silly, kinda. When I was a wee lad I heard the stories of Hercules and him losing strength when his hair was cut.
Through the decades I had to conform at times (hair and beard) but I never cut my eyebrows, my perceived strength hidden away in them.
They are now very bushy and like to grow everywhere. I love it.
Gf is on eyebrow duty because she enjoys plucking those extra thick long ones out. Otherwise I'd do it myself. Although there will come a time when I just let em go wild and embrace the old man look.
You forgot the red circles around the ears.
And nostrils. My life is regret.
Hot take: men's barbers should have jurisdiction over all these areas as routine grooming.
I've heard some Turkish barbers use fire for this.
They probably have a method but I cant recommend using a match for ear hair. Made a cool sound though
My partners barber always asks if he should do the eyebrows too
Clearly a candidate for sainthood.
I asked my barber to shave the gap between them at first. Then he responded with "can I just do the whole thing? It'll look sick"
It did in fact, look great

They're easy to do yourself though. I do them regularly as well as my ears.
We know we can. But it gives me this "Old Wise Owl" look.
First time I went to my last barber, he was almost done cutting my hair and said "do you want me to trim your eyebrows?"
I said, "hmm, no, I think they're alright."
He stared for a couple seconds. Then said, "...Imma trim them." And that's how I got my first eyebrow trim.

Next time do the ears and nose too. Your partner will appreciate it.
Do most younger men groom eyebrows these days?
I stopped needing regular haircuts almost a decade ago
What does this mean? Did your hair stop growing or did you just adopt a job/lifestyle where you don't care how long or uneven it is?
I stopped growing hair and now I shave my head.
Shaving your head is technically a haircut.
Perhaps, but in my mind a haircut is a service you pay for. You go somewhere for a haircut, you cut your hair at home.
Gotcha. Also, I didn't answer your question. Yes, I groom my eyebrows. If I didn't they'd grow into a single overly bushy unibrow.

I stopped needing regular haircuts when I turned 18 and didn't have to get my head buzz cut like my mom wanted anymore.

My barber trims up my eyebrows every time I get a haircut.
Mine, too, and when he doesn't I ask him to do it. Literally shaves ten years off my face.
Daily shave? No, I'm a man, I have a big fucking bushy beard. Shaving would get me thrown out of the tacticalbeardownersclub. 🧔♀️
What's tactical about your beard? Are you hiding a swiss army chin full of knives or something?
For a lot of large beard guys, it’s their entire personality
Sir I have spent over 200 dollars on various pretentious oils. Allow me to simulate a personality. I have literally paid the fee.
as a woman I probably would too, id love to look like one of the dwarves from deep rock galactic lol
always speaking like I'm drunk and pissed and carry around a pickaxe
any time I see gold I just have to scream at it for 30 minutes
ROCK AND STONE!

It camouflages my multiple chins.
And as a fellow fat faced fella, it is the only way to establish a jawline.

I was going to say, if we’re talking old man we’ll need to flip the green circles.
i dont cut my hair or beard im going for that crazy mountain man that eats raw racoon look yk
You guys don't get monobrows? Lucky.
My entire body except for my crotch is in the red circle. And my eyebrows? Sometimes I like to brush them up so they look even more bushy
Eyebrows are the secret source of my power.

You can't say that and then not tell us the name.
Pretty fucking disgusting.
Smells like weak browed bitch in here. At least your name is not "DrFemaleBodyInspector" or sth like that but still, boomer ass name, smh...
...is it normal to have to trim your eyebrows? i have never in my life touched mine and they've always stayed the same normal length
You must be young. Trust me, as you age hair starts creeping out of places you wouldn't expect and your eyebrows attempt to devour your face.
You reach a certain age and then, one day, BAM. Some crazy thick-ass course hair 2 inches long comes sticking outta your face. 3 days later, it finds a friend. Then another.
You forget about it and. 3 months later you look like you're dad and his dad, and have no idea how it happened.
For some people, it is. I only shave a tiny portion to make my features look a bit more pleasing but I don't reshape.
Jeremy Clarkson gets his eyebrows trimmed
Good thing I've noted this now and shall keep an eye out as mine get more unruly

My wife does my eyebrows every now and then.
I pretty much shampoo my whole head

Uhhh phrasing
once when I was like 7 I took scissors to my eyelashes because one got in my eyeball
(sidenote why is scissors spelled like that?? what's wrong with 'sizzers', it looks like a much more badass word than science sores)
but old man eyebrows are hot
