    I said old fogies and that's not you har har

    For those of us who are getting long in tooth I'm just curious how you handle this situation.

    You see you start getting what I'll call these rogue hairs. They come in here and there and they are like hairzilla like 4x the diameter of normal whiskers and even the best razors balk at shaving them. My wife wants to use tweezers to pull them out and now every time I see her with a pair of tweezers I head for the hills.

    What do ya'll think?

    +1 on honing. There is no reason that a straight can't just cut a bodacious swath through any hair...dang it.....guess bodacious dates me for Old whatever!

    The rogue hairs on your your ears? Use a candle!

    From Jaws... Kinda.

    Maybe a big sheffield wedge could help? Or you're going to have to hide the tweezers!

    My dear Thebigspendur:

    You are lucky you only have your wife chasing after the rogue hairs with tweezers. I have two daughter who also wield tweezers.

    Regards,
