Tweezerman. I use them all the time in my salon. I find that on myself the slanted ones are easier, but on my clients I use the ones specifically for ingrown hairs.
Re: ingrowns. If you want to reduce the risk of them there are two things you need to do. First, get a pair of scratchy mitts - a couple of quid, if that, from superdrug and the like. In the shower gently exfoliate every day. Gently! don't rub like fury; you'll make the skin sore. Second, after showering use any old cheap body lotion, carrier oil, spritzer.
The first step sloughs away dead skin, the second keeps the skin soft so that new hairs can grow through properly.
If you're going to hoick out ingrowns use the correct tool for the job (Tweezerman ingrown hair tweezer), keep the skin clean and don't pick afterwards. Alternatively use a product such as Tend Skin or PFB Vanish (my professional choice).

Thanks suki1964, was naively hoping that there would be a UK address, ah well, so much for wishful thinking!

I sent mine from Ireland to the US for sharpening recently. They arrived back safely but it took around 6 weeks.

I had rather hoped for a UK address too. How much is the postage?

Many thanks for this. I bought a pair of these last night - I got the gold plated ones. Just used them and they are excellent.

I use one from a brand called QVS, available in Superdrug and Asda I believe. Does a good job of what its supposed to do, and its about 2-3£.

Haven't got tweezerman so can't compare, plus the feeling isn't that bad if you lose a £3 tweezer compared to an expensive one;)
