How do you sharpen tweezers with scissors?
 

Get your pair of scissors and split them in half. 2) Get your blunt tweezers and position the ends into the blade of the scissors in between in. 3) Now press the blunt tweezers together in a grabbing action a few times. Dont over to it or the end of the tweezers can become too sharp.

 

 

 


My sister-in-law introduced me to Rubis tweezers and once I tried them I could never buy any other brand. For tweezing errant hairs the slant tips are the best in the world. How can one brand of tweezers be superior to another? These are made from quality metal that has been made so thin at the tip that you can get the edge under a hair that has barely broken the skin surface. Other brands are thick and clunky by comparison and you have to wait for the hair to be much longer - so much more visible - before you can remove it. I figure better quality is bound to cost more. If this were so easy to do, why aren’t all tweezers equally good?
