Though combs are probably the first kind of grooming tool known to mankind, and combs have been used equally by men, women and children for centuries, there is something different about combs for men. The distinction is that men can grow facial hair, and this needs to be groomed as well. The odd thing about facial hair is that it may be completely different from what a man has on his head. A mustache or a beard can be very curly or thick, at the same time as the head hair is thin and smooth. Sometimes, white hair turns up in a man’s facial hair before it shows on his head, or vice versa.
So, the mystique of combs seems to be that their function must be both practical and manly at the same time. Men often enjoy simple, rugged designs that work. This collection of combs has those requirements, and more.
