Yes or No When Using Tweezers
When it comes to grooming, especially facial grooming, tweezers are one of the most trusted tools in a man’s arsenal. But as with any tool, there’s a right way and a wrong way to use them. Whether you're shaping your eyebrows, removing stray hairs, or cleaning up your beard line, knowing when to say “yes” and when to say “no” to tweezers can make all the difference in your grooming routine.
Yes: When you need precision
Tweezers are the go-to tool for precision. If you're dealing with a few stray hairs on your eyebrows or beard, a pair of high-quality tweezers like Cleverman's Slant Tweezer is perfect for the job. The slanted tip is designed for ergonomic use, allowing you to grip hairs close to the root and remove them cleanly. This ensures that you’re not breaking the hair, which could lead to faster regrowth or irritation.
No: Overplucking
It’s easy to get carried away when using tweezers, but overplucking can lead to thin, uneven eyebrows or patchy areas in your beard. Always step back and check your progress to avoid overdoing it. Remember, less is often more when it comes to plucking.
Yes: For grooming touch-ups
Tweezers are excellent for touch-ups between haircuts or beard trims. Use them to clean up any stray hairs that your razor or trimmer might have missed. The Cleverman Slant Tweezer is perfect for these quick fixes, thanks to its professionally aligned tips that close evenly and firmly, removing hair from the root without any hassle.
No: On sensitive or irritated skin
Avoid using tweezers on areas of your skin that are already sensitive, red, or irritated. Plucking hairs from these areas can exacerbate the issue and lead to further irritation or even infection. It’s better to let your skin heal before attempting any hair removal in those areas.
Yes: For long-term value
Investing in a high-quality pair of tweezers like the Cleverman Slant Tweezer is a smart choice. With calibrated tension for longevity and a specialized pouch for storage, these tweezers are built to last, providing you with a reliable tool for all your grooming needs.
No: On large areas
Tweezers are designed for precision, not for covering large areas. If you’re trying to remove hair from a broader area, consider using other grooming tools like a trimmer or razor. Tweezers are best reserved for detail work.
How to use Cleverman tweezers
- Grip: Hold the tweezers near the middle of the body, with the slant parallel to your skin.
- Position: Locate the unwanted hair and position the slant on either side of it.
- Pluck: Squeeze firmly and pull in the direction of hair growth with constant pressure to remove the hair from the root.
- Clean: After use, clean and sanitize the tweezers with alcohol or peroxide to protect your skin from infection.

Tweezers are an essential tool for any man serious about his grooming. Knowing when to use them and when to put them down is key to achieving a polished, natural look. With the Cleverman Slant Tweezer, you’ll have a reliable, high-quality tool that ensures precision with every pluck.
