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!

The razor held up great after a week, but the unmarked blade in it was too dull at the end of it’s run. I’ll keep the razor and use an Astra Green in it, for those emergency shaves at woirk that sometimes happen.
