Mark 5 FAQ's

Quality and durability are the primary differences. Tweezerman and others make their tweezers in countries like Pakistan and India, where the raw materials are of varying levels of quality. Most Mark 5 Tweezers are made in Switzerland, using the highest level of surgical grade stainless steel. Mark 5's steel is actually imported from Sweden because we are interested in using only the best raw materials. Mark 5 does not believe in scrimping on quality. We would rather pay much more and make less per tweezer to sell the best, and that is what we do. We wouldn't say we sold the best unless it was true.

Although all Mark 5 tweezers are great, the Mark 5 Diamond Tip Tweezers are the most notable because of the enhanced tips. Utilizing a special process, we coat the interior part of the tweezer tips with actual diamond particles to enhance the gripping ability of the tweezers. Think of it, a gritty surface pulling on a hair, a simple yet highly effective concept � and it works. Although the diamond tip brow tweezers are more expensive they have been our best selling tweezers since they were introduced over 8 years ago.

For brows, it is generally accepted in the industry that slanted tip tweezers work the best. This is probably because of the way most people hold the tweezers, the angle of the slanted tips meeting the skin is most comfortable for the majority of people. Select the Mark 5 Diamond Tip Tweezer or any of the Mark 5 Brow Shaping Tweezers. In the case of ingrown hairs and splinters, any needle-like tweezer is preferred. It becomes a matter of personal preference among the choices of Mark 5 Pro Splinter, Mark 5 Splinter +, and Mark 5 Mini Splinter. One added note however regarding the Mark 5 Pro Splinter, these are the tweezers of choice of our founder [and Electrologist for over 40 years], Sylvia Marcus.

Mark 5 Crystal nail files are files made of tempered glass. Crystal nail files are extremely unique in how they treat the nails, making them smooth and even promoting healthy nail growth by eliminating fractures and tears in the nails. They can be sanitized with hot/boiling water or alcohol, which is a great thing considering all you hear these days about the problems related to re-use of nail implements. Not only can you use these files on your nails (fingers or toes), they can be used to exfoliate hardened calluses on the heals of your feet! It is important to note that all crystal nail files are not the same. There are a lot of copies out there, with varying levels of quality, but none can match Mark 5's files on quality, durability, or smoothness. When you buy Mark 5 Crystal Nail Files, you can be assured that you are buying the authentic, high quality and durable, files that have become so popular in recent years.
