<div class="IPBDescription">What's the best way to shorten them?</div> I've been trying to figure out the best way to get rid of my eyelashes for a while now.
I've tried trimming them, but that usually left some mini-hairs under the eyelid which made it hurt like hell when I rubbed my eyes.
I've tried plucking them, but that hurts more than even pulling nosehair.
Now I'm trying using a shaving razor and the results are always good, but I'm unconfortable with the idea of a sharp instrument that close to my eyeball.
I know a good chunk of you can't fathom why a person would want to do this, but ignore that for a while. If you were trying to get rid of your eyelashes, how would you do it?

The short answer is that I hate unkempt hair with a passion. And ever since I've started trimming them 2 years ago, I've been much happier with trying to read and stuff because they never get in my line of sight any more.
You, sir, are my archnemesis.
I haven't had a haircut in 6 months, nor a shave in at least 3 months. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

as silly as it sounds...
I would actualy suggest a version of that.
There is a device ussed to curl lashes....
I don't know exactly how it works, so I would suggest asking a female friend about it... (or google <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
they sorta look like a device designed to pluck out your eyes <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
oh, and them, your just screwy man.
/me joins with Duff in the long unkempt Vs The Crazy baldie (my stats on hair cutting are about the samfe as Duff's <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
also. you dont want to remove them , because then you will reailse that your eyes will get a lot sorer fast and have a tonne of crap in them
hair is there for a reason
and from what i know, if you can see black fuz up top of your vision , thats your eyebrows <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> not eyelashes
And I *know* it was eyelashes in my view....
1. Because they moved when I blinked.
2. Because they suddenly went away when I trimmed my eyelashes for the first time.
Guess I'll just stick with a razor then.
/me shudders.
I think you should go for the 'no hair anywhere' style <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
screw just shaving your head, you need to wax it and make it SHINE(s the name rodger young)
take off those eyebrows also
and arm/leg/chest/back hair
you can keep the unmentionable parts bushy (if you so chose)
<!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Maybe my eyes just like being weird <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
I would probably suggest an electric razor that wont physically cut your eyeball if you slip/shake. That way, you can shorten them and still prevent yourself from making...yourself...blind.

Yeah, all I leave is the eyebrows nowadays. I tried shaving them off too, but that looked really weird. So now I just keep them trimmed really short, people say it really shows off my eyebrow scar.
do I join Duff in the 'shagey people club'
or Them in the 'Eyebrow scar people club'

I always claim mine was gotten from a knife fight (people are stupid and believe me, especialy if they know I am from NYC <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

Yes, leave third degree burns on your Eye Lids.
I think if you shave them, and then see them grow back, you could use an electric razor, so there's no chance of cuts.

But nonetheless, plenty of chance of <i>jabbing yourself in the eyeball with a superfast vibrating piece of spiky metal...</i>
I am willing to bet you could harm yourself using an electric razor on your eyelashes:
1) STAB... OW MY EYE
2) I bet that that you could get your eyelids between the blades some how (seeing how as the skin there is probably looser there then on your face....)

Haha, NADs! You know what 'nads' is slang for right? The special oval-shaped objects that are precious to us men.
Eyelash-related: This morning I noticed I had a huge white eyelash growing in my right eye aside the normal ones. After plucking, I checking it. Twice the length, but thinner and white in colour. What the hell?
