This article looks at the history and significance of eyebrow shaving in Japan. It dates back to the Heian period (794-1185) when women used tweezers to pluck their brows, and during the Edo period (1603-1868) when samurai warriors cut their eyebrows with scissors. Geishas popularized it during the Meiji period (1868-1912). Eyebrow shaping is seen as an important part of beauty culture in Japan and there are several techniques used today including tweezing, waxing, threading, trimming and shaving with razors or electric trimmers. Razor shaving offers many benefits such as easy maintenance and no redness or irritation afterwards. Tips on how to get perfectly shaped Japanese eyebrows are also provided.
