Guys and eyebrows-your thoughts on maintaining/styling them?
Regardless of sexual orientation, even eyebrows for guys are a talking point these days. Some guys keep them "au naturel" and don't do anything at all. Others do the bare minimum which would be just cutting/pulling out very long eyebrow hairs. Then you have guys who have little eyebrow brushes and cut their hairs to keep them short. The most extreme men of course are the ones who will shape/thin their eyebrows.
What do you do with yours, if anything? What do you think looks best?
I'm 1 of those guys who only pulls out any very long pieces I find. Other than that, nothing. I don't trim or shape mine at all.

Just take out the unibrow area...otherwise don't touch... just my opinion.

I have very thick hair and brows.
When I go to the hairstylist she uses her comb to kinda lift and extend the brow.
Then she lightly buzzes the ends with clippers.
This keeps them from being unruly.

I recommend threading. Almost painless, fast, thorough, precise.
Just be sure they have a full beauty school education and a stasi issued license.
They will be holding thread near your delicate face, so you'll want to take the necessary safety measures.
Bon chance, brave one.

It never looks right when men shape their eyebrows. Getting rid of a unibrow, trimming and getting rid of unruly strands is fine.

R1 is right.
I believe plucked and/or trimmed eyebrows ruin a man's looks to roughly the same degree as being 100 pounds overweight.
One of the reasons I prefer men's faces to women's faces are the fuller, thicker eyebrows.

Unruly, bushy eyebrows add at least 2-5 years to the face. Have a barber neaten them up if needed. No need to over do it, but it can make a nice difference for little money and effort.
Eyebrows make or break the face.

What people do should often, or will often, depend on age. Old men must trim their eyebrows to look professional and not like an old geezer. Middle aged men will need to pull out long hairs. Young me it depends on what is naturally there. I had perfect brows from 15-40 I would say and never did anything. Then in my 40s I pulled out long hairs. Then I pulled out the odd gray hair. Then finally there was enough gray hair that it made sense to let it mix in. Now in my fifties the hair is going towards old geezer. Also the EAR HAIR, which I never had, appears. Barf.

Brezhnev's unibrow looks like a war map for invading neutral countries.

For you DL gentlemen still in the closet because of work or family, just know that too groomed brows are now the #1 outward indicator of he who likes the homosex. Carrying a smart Hermes handbag is less gay than having neat arched brows.

My barber cuts them. This has been the standard practice for ages. I am not much for the plucked look that some guys have. But doing nothing is not a great look either.

I pluck the white ones and run my clipper over them with the #1 comb. Produces a not really noticeably changed brow. Just cleaner. NO shaping.

I use an electric trimmer on them. It works perfectly, I think. I have one white hair I pull or cut to the base. Rarely I shave the spot between them, but I don't really have a unibrow.
Hispanics, especially poor ones, seem to really over do it. I worked with this one Hispanic (but not poor) guy who came to a meeting once with clipped and sculpted eyebrows. I couldn't stop giggling, literally. I completely disrupted the meeting, and couldn't say "Rommel trimmed his eyebrows and just looks adorable".

I don't shape them, I just hack them back so I don't look like an old geezer.
I will also yank any wild super long ones. I have a mild case of trichotillomania, so I just have to watch it or I will absentmindedly pull them all out anyway.
