Do any of you shave your eyebrows?

I do.

They get thick and shaggy like Andy Rooney's were, and then one or more poke into my eye and I have to pluck them, and that smarts.

So I use the sideburn trimmer on my Norelco and shave 'em off, every so often.

I use a comb turned upside down and any eyebrow hair that's sticking out gets zapped off with the trimmer. I do it about every two weeks. I would look like a disgusting old troll if I didn't keep mine trimmed. They're thick and can get really shaggy in just a couple of weeks if I don't keep an eye on them.

And don't even get me started on manscaping!

To be fair, my wife likes the bushy-browed wizard look, but I have some mutant hairs in there that would grow several inches long away from my forehead if left unchecked.

I just run a comb through them and remove all excess hair that sticks out past the comb with that same whisker trimmer tool on the electric razor. It's a trick I picked up at the barber shop and it works a treat.

I did it drunk once and ended up completely shaving them off. That looked weird for a while.

shaving any hair makes it grow back fuller or thicker.

I don't know if that's true.
