Product Information

There are certainly times when too much of a good thing turns into a bad thing, and such is the case with combing the beard. Wood: Wood combs aren’t as common as cellulose acetate (or the low-grade plastic options, for that matter), but it’s a terrific, sturdy, anti-static option, especially if you have a double-sided and beveled option. When looking for the best beard comb, the last thing to consider is how it looks and feels in your hand. Below is a side-by-side comparison of our current iteration of the Beardbrand Large Comb next to the first large comb we sold, which happened to be made by Kent Combs.

These classic-looking combs also have tines on just one side, but they feature wide and fine teeth, making them multi-purpose. Most single-sided multi-purpose beard combs will have an even ratio of wide and fine teeth. Beardbrand Beard Combs differ because they feature more wide teeth than fine teeth. It’s a subtle difference in the combing experience, but we find it a better use of space. There’s an old Pontiac commercial from the ‘90s where Surfer Sam Maluo says, “ wider is better.” In surfing, a wider board gives you more stability and control. But, “wider is better” is a good mantra to adopt when it comes to beard combs, albeit for a different reason.Using a moustache comb can help to tame wild and unruly facial hair, allowing your beard to become cleaner and appear fuller. When combed regularly, your beard will grow in the right direction. This will reduce the risk of ingrown hairs. This handmade, saw-cut comb is made from large sheets of cellulose acetate, a non-petroleum based plastic derived from plants that has been found to create less static in hair.Using this material allows the comb to be particularly tactile, flexible, and durable.

Every Kent comb undergoes the traditional craft of shaping and cutting from a solid blank of tortoiseshell effect material. Our dedication to crafting quality beard brushes means you can confidently buy a Kent beard grooming brush that will work the way you expect. After all, well over two hundred years of experience go into designing and making each brush.

Bottom: Beardbrand's original Large Comb, made by Kent Combs. When it comes to teeth width on your beard combs, the golden rule is this: The coarser the beard, the wider the teeth. One thing that beardsmen agree on—and there aren’t many of them—is that plastic is a terrible choice for comb material.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 At least, we hope that every beardsman experiences this revelationary moment of beard-combing bliss. As for the other materials, beardsmen tend to fall into one of two camps—wood and cellulose acetate. Though, some also swear by metal and animal horn combs.

That’s why we like this comb, it’s traditional, it’s basic, and it’s made from real wood and by hand. Just what you should be looking for in a good beard comb. 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). What’s funny is that although a lot of time has passed and many personal care products evolve into better versions of themselves, this hasn’t happened with combs at all. It wouldn’t be an ultimate guide to beard combs without a tutorial on combing your beard, would it? Everyone has their own style, but it’s a good idea to start the beard combing routine from the bottom part of the facial hair and go upwards from there or “against the grain” to remove all the tangles deep within the mane. However, you should always remember to end your combing session with a downwards motion so that your facial hair isn’t pointing towards the sky. How to Properly Comb a Beard

Next, we’ll get into the details regarding the specific pros and cons of each of the best beard combs. Instead of having a glued-up hinge, HuskyBeard has gone and added a proper screw hinge to the comb so that it lasts for years instead of months. Additionally, if you love the feeling of a soft and well-moisturized beard, combing your beard hair when done after oil or balm application helps to moisturize and soften your beard even more. This is because the comb helps distribute the oil or balm more evenly and efficiently throughout the beard than your fingers can. 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.
