The gunmetal has a slightly smoother feel than the matte black version a friend has, and when my hands are damp I notice a bit of slip that she doesn't. Minor, and I've started drying my hands first like a sensible person. Everything about the tips and the grip on a hair is faultless.

Good tweezer and I'll be fair about the learning period. The taper on this is longer and finer than the pair I'd used for about fifteen years, which means the angle you hold it at is different. For the first fortnight I kept coming in too steep and skidding off. That's habit, not a fault, and once I adjusted it became obviously the better tool, it grips hairs my old one could not have held, it doesn't snap them, and the tips close completely. Four stars only because I think some people will try it twice, decide it doesn't work, and go back to what they know. Give it two weeks.

The point is fine enough that I'm genuinely anxious about it knocking against other things in a drawer, and the supplied sleeve is soft rather than rigid. I've started keeping it in a spectacles case, which solves it. Docking a star because I'd have liked a proper hard case for a tip this delicate.

Ordered expecting something closer to silver based on the listing photos and what arrived is a deeper gunmetal. I actually prefer it, but I want to say it plainly because if you're matching it to something specific you should know. Four stars for the photo, five for everything else, the tips are flawless.

Mine turned up without the little protective sleeve, which I only noticed a week later. Support sorted it, to be fair. Docking a star for the packing rather than the product, because the tweezer itself has been perfect and the tip really does need protecting.

Very good tweezer, small practical irritation. The gray is close enough to plain stainless that for about a week I kept picking up my old drugstore pair by mistake, because they sit in the same drawer and look similar at a glance. I've since thrown the old one out, which solved it, but if you're upgrading and planning to keep the old pair as a backup, be aware they're hard to tell apart in a hurry. The tool itself is excellent. Tips close flush, grip is firm, the point gets hairs that have not surfaced yet. I'd buy it again and I'd buy it in gray again.

Ten months, used several times a week, no change in how it performs. Tips flush, hinge tight, finish unmarked. I don't anticipate needing another tweezer and that's an odd sentence to write happily.

I gave one to my sixteen year old and she struggled for the first few weeks because a point tip is unforgiving if your aim is off, she was pinching skin and getting frustrated. She's fine now and loves it. I'm mentioning it because if you're buying this as someone's first real tweezer, they may find a slant easier to learn on. For me it's a five.

One thing: in a dim bathroom the gray is close enough to skin tone that I lose the tip against my face. In decent light it's the best tweezer I've owned. I've moved my tweezing to the window and it's a non-issue, but worth knowing if your bathroom is dark.

The spring is softer than my old pair and it caught me out for the first week, I kept over-squeezing and pinching skin. Once I calibrated it's excellent, and the lighter tension is probably easier on your hand over time. Four stars for the adjustment.

Because the gray shows nothing at all, I go weeks without cleaning it and then feel slightly horrified. That's a me problem dressed up as a review, but the black ones apparently show everything and I now understand the appeal. Function has been faultless.

At 63 the hardest part of tweezing is seeing the thing. The gray gives enough contrast against my skin that I can actually track the tip, and it grips first attempt so I'm not hunting for the same hair four times.

Excellent tool. After I rinse it the gray shows hard water spots more than I'd like, and I have very hard water. A quick dry with a towel fixes it, but I notice it. The function has been perfect for three months.

Rating this three and I want to explain properly because the tool is not at fault. I have an essential tremor that has got worse over the last two years. A point tip concentrates everything into a spot smaller than a pinhead, and any wobble in my hand becomes a miss or a pinch. My old blunt pair was more forgiving, it would catch the hair even if I was a millimetre off. This one is either exactly right or it's nothing. On a good day it's the best tweezer I've held. On a bad day I put it down. If your hands are steady this is a five star product without question, and I've given it to my daughter who adores it. I'm rating my experience, which is that precision cuts both ways.

Four months in, tips still meet with no gap at all. Nothing loosened.

dermaplane girlies this is the follow-up tool. catches everything the blade skips, especially along the jaw. gray so it doesn't clash with literally anything on my vanity ✨

Only complaint is commercial rather than physical: I want two, one upstairs and one down, and I had to place two separate orders. A two-pack at a small discount would have been an instant buy. As for the tweezer, five stars, it grips first time, the tips are flush, and it has not loosened in four months of daily use.

the gray is such a good neutral, it goes with the chrome stuff and the black stuff and doesn't look like it's trying. also it's the only tweezer that's gotten the fine hairs between my brows first try

Grabs on the first attempt. Every time. That is the entire product.

There are hairs on my neck I can only locate by feel and this gets them regardless. The tip goes precisely where I put it, so I can work by touch and still be accurate. No other tweezer I've owned allowed that.

Bought it for myself, my boyfriend discovered it removes splinters, and it now lives in his side of the drawer. The gray apparently made it feel unisex enough that he had no hesitation. I've ordered another.

There were three pairs in this house and all of them were the kind of bad you stop noticing. Bought this, used it once, and immediately understood that I'd been fighting my own tools for years. Everything comes out first try now. The gray also doesn't glare under the bathroom light, which I hadn't thought about.

My sister is a vet and she took one look at this and asked where I got it, because apparently the tips close better than half the instruments in her practice. She now has two. I did not expect professional validation of a bathroom purchase.

i have extensions and needed something precise enough to get a brow hair without going near the lashes. this is it. the tip is fine enough that i'm not nervous. gray is also just pretty

It goes in every bag I pack. Splinters in three countries, one bee sting, and a great deal of routine maintenance. The sleeve protects the tip properly and the whole thing weighs nothing.

I bought the pink, the black, and this one because I have a problem. The gray is the one I actually reach for. Best visibility against skin of the three. The other two are in a drawer.

Shaving my legs had turned into a cycle of ingrowns I'd pick at and then feel bad about. The point slides under the hair and lifts it without me breaking the skin open. Two months of doing it properly and there's almost nothing to deal with anymore. I did not expect a tweezer to change that.

nine months of daily handling and the gunmetal looks the same as it did out of the box. no wear where my thumb sits, no chips, nothing. that's rarer than it should be

I'm a podiatrist and I brought this in to compare against what we stock for removing subungual splinters and embedded hairs. Ours cost more and close no better. I've told two colleagues. It's a genuinely well-made instrument sold at a domestic price, which is not a combination you see often.
