Groetsch Wooden Teasing Comb, Hornbeam

A hand-made hardwood 18cm teasing comb from the Groetsch family of Enzendorf, Germany. Crafted from local hornbeam timber, a smooth grained, tight pored wood known for its hard and even texture, on the original 150 year old cutting machines, with teeth that are tapered, rounded at tip and base, polished on both interstitial and external faces, and fixed to a laterally-grained back for flexible strength and support. Split between fine and broad, fairly deep teeth, this elegantly shaped fine-toothed styling comb has a slender handle which can be reversed for more precise shaping.
