Tweezerman Review

Today I will be reviewing some Tweezerman products that I recently acquired and am really enjoying!

As you probably have heard a million times, Tweezerman makes the best tweezers out there. They are super sharp, last for an eternity and they will even re-sharpen them for you for free  if/when they get dull. I have heard this too my whole life basically, but for some reason, I never got any of their tweezers. I have been using an old Revlon one for like 15 years and it was ok, but nothing special. Well now I REALLY wish I had been using one of these because it’s a world of difference between Revlon and Tweezerman my friends! Check out the pics and reviews below.

So this beauty was my very first exposure to their tweezers and now I have to say, I will never go back. First off the design is really cute (sorry for darkish pic). It’s a purple that fades into blue and with a kind of speckled paint effect. I like that they made their tweezers look nice, I mean if you can then why not? They are made from stainless steel and the slanted point of these is what really makes these special. They are SHARP and so precise! And when I say SHARP I mean SHARP! You have to remember, I am comparing them to a pair I have had for 15 years that’s never been sharpened so they were incredibly dull and pretty much useless. These will get the tiniest finest hair you have, so you can do a much more precise brow. I did manage to accidentally grasp my skin a couple times because they are so precise so first timers, just be careful of that when using them. If I had to rate these on a 1-10 scale, I would give them a 9, they truly are fabulous. These retail for $25.00.

Here is another great pair of tweezers, this time with an ergonomic handle and also stainless steel. I think this is actually a great idea for a small tool like this. When comparing these to the ones above, these definitely feel more “grippy” and less likely to slip if you have lotion or something slippery on your hands.  The point is slanted and is just as fine and sharp as the others. They come with a nice little pouch that they slip into for storage. The only drawback I can see with this pair is that they are a little bulkier so if you have a tiny bag and want to pack them, they take a wee bit more room. But really that’s small beans! I give these an 8 out of 10 rating and they are also $25.00.

The Pedro Too is a little egg shaped callus foot stone. It has a really nice ergonomic design so it sits nicely in the palm of your hand while you file away at your feet. The filing stone is made out of ceramic from Germany and it’s not too rough, like some of these can be. You can use it wet or dry and it really works great at getting rid of any calluses or thick, dry skin you have on your feet. I haven’t tried it right after getting out of the shower when my skin was soft, but they do recommend that. I tried it when my skin wasn’t that soft and it still worked really well. After you are done lightly filing in a circular motion (don’t grind hard back and forth like a saw), you can wash it in warm water and soap and it’s good to go for next time. The cute pink storage case it comes in has a cover for the stone with ventilation slots for quick drying. I have never used another product like this so I can’t compare it with others that are on the market, but I really like it and it works well. This retails for $12.00 and I give it an 8 out of 10 rating.

You can find these and other Tweezerman products on their website here.

    Thanks for the review! Perfect timing, because I’ve been struggling with the worst pair of tweezers in the world. For as often as I use them, think I’ll invest in the Tweezerman. Thanks!

    Hi Anne Marie B,

    Glad you found it useful! I am with you, I shyed away from them because they were expensive, but when you think that they last a lifetime and they sharpen them for free then really what’s $25.00 over like 60 years?

  • Can I say that I’ve been using this brand for years without sounding smug?! They are the only tweezers capable of removing eyebrow stubble. I’ve never sent them off for sharpening though as I lost the address that came in the packet. So if anyone’s done that, please let me know how it went and what to do!

    I like how the black ones look. I think my fingers would grip those nicely.
