So this qualifies under both : "More out of the Mouth of Babes, and out of the Mouth of Seniors. " Why, because every age voted. LOL
So I have always had bush eyebrows. One of my friends once said:
"Kevin, you are just a few inches away from being a Russian Oligarch or a Nobel Prize winner."
That's what he thought of my eyebrows.
Well not only are they bushy, but they don't feel like hair. They feel like petting a pig. Just short of being wire like. And they started to get caught in my glasses. So I shaved them off. Only took a few weeks for them to grow back. Maybe they should transplant my eyebrows to me head...I would never go bald again.
So now that I have done this three times in four months...my Kathy made a comment in front of the kids and grandkids:
"Does Pop Pop look better with...or without ...his eyebrows?"
It was unanimous.
My daughter's, their hubbies, the three grandchildren who are old enough to vote (Little Valerie is seven months old...and doesn't have an opinion...yet.) and my Kathy...all want them gone.
And so, now, basically my shaving routine starts at my neck. My eyebrows are just the latest sprouting to have to be shaved. I had to start on my nose (on the outside) several years back. And my neck looks like a turtle neck if not trimmed properly.
I don't think when I am losing eyesight, grip strength, and fine motor control in my fingers, is the time to add shaving things close to my eyes, nose and ears. I have already clipped the top of my ear a couple times.
So it will be electric for the eyebrows.
And now, I am smooth as a bowling ball, and about the same size!

No, I did not. I do remember that Terry Garr was the first Westerner allowed into the School...but didn't remember that detail. I guess I got to buy a Kimono and learn to make tea properly.
