Calling all men with bushy eyebrows

How do you all tame them? At home? Wax? Threading? I want to tone mine done as I want to move to contacts, I currently have thick frames which do a good job covering them.
I want to avoid the surrey jack, new jersey guido look with the super fine, super arched brows. I just want them a little more streamlined.

You should just go to a spa or something and ask them what's the best choice

Try a proper men's grooming shop - Momumtum Grooming (http://www.momentumgrooming.com/) on Burrard and Davie. They might have a solution or at least some good advice. :)

Nice find....worth it alone just for the shaving supplies :)
There are a lot of spas and grooming studios catered to men.

Their prices aren't too bad to be honest. I used to buy my supplies online from Vintage Blades and then I figured, after the currency exchange wrap, shipping/handling and duties/taxes, it works out to be cheaper here.
I met the owner once and I think he's always there. Super friendly guy. He has a voice almost similar to a radio announcer on CBC Radio 1. :D

That's suicide. You always want to get it professionally done the first time before you attempt a DIY on the caterpillars, even if you want to just clean up the little overgrown weeds in the garden, there's a huge chance of lopsided brows.

^ If you've got lopsided eyesight, sure. Haha I agree with you though, but if micbain ain't gonna step up to the plate and get 'em professionaly done then he might as well get to weed-whacking by hand.

Nice...I love the old school safety, brush and shaving soap...or if you really wanna man up, the straight razor!

If you've broken your nose before and it didn't heal properly or you have a scar (both in my case) you always want to get it done professionally. They're trained, you're not =p

They'll usually just clean up the sparse ones and any unibrow problems.
Like George Clooney, the bottoms are cleaned up and so are the middle.

They'll just go along with the shape of your brow instead of looking like:

Get them threaded once... then pluck yourself afterwards. Don't listen to anyone here besides BCrdukes advice.
Once you pluck yourself, you can decide how you want them to be shaped... it's minimal maintenance per week, and i know how you feel I try to stay as far from the surrey jack look as possible... just don't wear a white and purple argyle shirt as well.
