Default tweezers?

what's the consensus on the best (sliver removing) tweezers?

b.w.



I don't know what tweezers work best for removing slivers but a while
back I got some advice on removing splinters from a guy who used to work
in a saw mill. Working around wood all the time the guy was always
getting splinters and he said the best way to remove them was with a new
and clean razor blade. Instead of trying to pick out a sliver with
tweezers it worked better to slice down through the skin little by
little with the razor blade. I've tried it myself numerous times since
learning about it and I've found it works well. Just a thought.
