Product Information

Aesthetically speaking, it makes your look clean by shedding particles that may have gotten trapped in your beard throughout the day or overnight. These particles may include dust, lint, or even tiny pieces of food. This means that the static charge or poor-quality will never be an issue with any of their combs, and since every teeth is saw cut instead of being machine-pressed, there will always be perfectly smooth teeth that glide through your beard and mustache effortlessly. Single-sided combs have tines on just one side and will have all wide teeth or all fine teeth. As for shape, you will find some variety, ranging from classic-looking to more curved and ornate. Wood and bone combs tend to have more unique shapes to them and may also feature a handle. But through tens of hours of work, we have managed to tidy the list down to seven good combs that we are sure you’re going to love.

The design is a classic tortoiseshell style, giving it a traditional feel and a timeless appearance. For those looking to give their facial hair that extra bit of care and attention, considering pairing up this comb with the Kent Beard Brush.

Sadly, many budding beardsmen attempt to tame their beard knots, tangles, and waves with combs that weren’t cut out with your beard in mind. These bearded rookies are often unaware that a better option exists. Ignorance is not bliss in this case—ignorance is a painful existence of ripping out your hard-earned beard hairs with each and every pass of the comb. Wood combs have a timeless and natural aesthetic, while bone combs are often ornate and unique. On the other hand, cellulose acetate beard combs can feature bold colors and designs and more timeless patterns such as tortoiseshell. Beard comb is essential to any good beard maintenance routine, and many as there are the combers, there are also combs, but not just any comb shall do. Of all the factors to consider when searching for a beard comb, the shape of the comb is probably the least significant. That said, we think there’s better value in multi-purpose combs (combs that feature both wide and narrow teeth). On the other end of the spectrum are hand-cut combs. The comb’s teeth are individually cut with saws and then polished and smoothed to eliminate jagged edges. The teeth are also more firm and barely move when you run a finger over them, making them less likely to get snagged in your beard. If you’re curious to see how hand-cut combs are made in a factory setting, this video gives a good look into combs made by Hercules Sägemann. 3. BEARD COMB TINES

Metal beard combs are typically made from stainless steel or aluminum. Durability is the big selling point here, and they don’t produce static the way that plastic combs do. Metal combs are saw-cut, which is good. But they do require a significant amount of hand-polishing to remove any sharpness on the tines, which drives up the price and can make them among the most expensive comb options. You can find less expensive metal options, but there’s the risk of getting a comb that isn’t as smooth as advertised. Cellulose acetate: This is the new baseline standard, which is a mile above plastic options (since plastic options are often cheaply made, easily broken, and can produce static). Cellulose acetate combs are sturdy, have enough “give” in that they aren’t too rigid, and they comb in a variety of beautiful colors and designs.When you sweep the natural boar bristles of a beard brush against your own beard hairs, you are also redistributing both the natural oils and the beard oil you use from the beard roots to tips. Stimulates Sebum and Circulation A beard comb can also be paired up with beard oil, wax, or balm to assist with achieving a thorough coating. For most men, three months of beard growth is when having a beard comb is an absolute must for detangling, styling, and maintaining the overall appearance of your beard. Wallet comb: Many brands have a credit card-sized comb that fits right into your wallet, making it easy to tote everywhere you go. Some are double-sided, others single-sided, and some even have a bottle opener on the corner. Not that anyone asked for that, but hey. First things first—when do you actually need a beard comb? AT WHAT BEARD LENGTH DO YOU NEED A BEARD COMB?

Thirdly, no metal combs, those only create static and are more likely to damage the beard than wooden or cellulose acetate combs. Yes, you can overcomb your beard and put undue stress on it. Aim for combing twice per day—once in the morning and once in the evening. THE WRAP-UP Secondly, the materials. We tried to choose a good variety of sandalwood, ox horn, cellulose acetate, and other good material options, without even mentioning the bad one.

All-in-all, it’s a really nice looking and well-functioning beard comb that is likely to last for tens of years with proper use. Stamp-pressed plastic is bad – I wish they wouldn’t because plastic is super cheap, but the fact is that plastic combs are often flimsy, easy to break, machine-produced in mass quantities, and they cause the static charge for the whiskers. Hair is most susceptible to damage when wet, but you want it to be damp when you comb out. After showering or wetting your beard, dry it until it's about 75% dry. Using a boar’s hair Beard Brush will be more beneficial to your beard during the first few months of growth. When it comes to teeth width on your beard combs, the golden rule is this: The coarser the beard, the wider the teeth.
