Need new tweezers

My tweezers have seen better days and I now need to accept that I need a new set.

Can anyone recommend any please?

    I have some good ones from a manicure set bought from M&S (tweezers, nail file, nail clippers and sharp curved scissors). The ends are cut at an angle making gripping hairs easier.

    I have a pair of the slanted ones.

    Make sure you get full size & not mini

    I have a pair of Tweezermans which cost around £20. They are excellent though not quite as good after they went through a wash in the pocket of my jeans. I have recently bought a pair from Avon. They're half price at the moment at £2.50. I honestly think they're as good as Tweezerman.

    Another vote for Tweezerman. Mine are 12 years old and still perfect.

    I've just had a look on the M&S website and the manicure sets don't have tweezers,but they now sell them separately. However, they are nothing like mine (bought from an outlet) and have one review which is poor.


    I found another set upstairs, today. They are very similar to the M&S ones and are Boots brand.
  • i mislaid my tweezerman and bought a cheap primark one, a total waste of money. the quality of the tweezerman is worth it.

    Bella and Bear 3 piece set Amazon £8.90. I had been using my old ones for an embarrassing 20+ years before they finally died. Couldn't justify the Tweezerman price and these had the best reviews for the price. I love them.
