Beard comb round up

Over the last few years my collection of beard combs have grown, and at some point I mean to do a review of each one… but for now, here is four sentences about my four beard combs:

This comb from Big Red was my first comb just for beards, and gives good control despite feeling a little flimsy.

The BullDog beard comb is okay, but feels more like a re-purposed hair comb than a dedicated beard comb to me.

The metal multi-tool beard comb from Pereira Shavery has become part of my daily carry at work, used two or three times a day.

The boomerang style from Periera felt a little odd in my hand the first couple of times, but it’s my favourite beard comb now – the 90° handle gives great control without having to twist my wrist!
