What features do the different materials from which beard combs/beard brushes are made?
Beard combs are available in various materials such as; plastic, metal, stainless steel, wood and buffalo horn. A wide choice and every product has its own fan base. It is of course up to you what type of product you best like, but it doesn't hurt to (re) orient yourself well first.
Each compound has its plus and minus points. The comfort is also determined by the various raw materials that the beard comb is produced. External influences, such as sunlight and moisture/water, can have adverse effects on the functioning of the various materials. We will come back to this way.
Bearded Buffel horn, pears, sandal or olive tree wood are often high -quality instruments to optimally care for the beard. This utensil, which consists entirely of natural materials, is also very comfortable to use.
Traditionally, the beard comb was also made of bone. Because there are now a lot of sustainable (re) (vegan) materials available and production with the use of "bones" requires more time, these are the most precious products in the market and today are actually sold much less.
Buffalo
Then the buffalo horn beard comb. Very popular with the passionate beard fanatic. The chemical composition and the molecular structure of this product is the same as that of our own hair and nails. Hoorn is not static by nature, so the beard comb slides through your beard as a warm butter.
Ultimate tools to keep your beard safe and comfortable in top condition. Hoorn will also not quickly damage or shatter, which means that the risk of damaging the beard hairs is very small.
Wood
A beard comb made of wood is in our opinion, and many users, an excellent alternative to the horn copy. Although it is important to make a good choice in which type of wood your beard instrument is executed. Pears, sandal or olive trees wood are, for example, excellent choices.
Cheaper variants of "noise trees" have a considerably shorter lifespan. There is also a chance that a lesser (read: softer) quality wood type quickly damaged so that you run the chance to destroy your beard. Draws on fragments. Or worse, your skin damaged. With a splinter through the winter. Or with the First Aid ...
Plastic
Finally, there are the plastics and metal variants. Simple plastic copies that are handy for the road. An extra set for the glove box or for the leather suitcase of your vintage engine. Then you can lose them "on the road" again. During Pinkpop. Hurts just a little less if you accidentally lose it. Instead of your cherished buffalo pouringes variant.
Of course there is also the tasteful Rhodoid. A vintage plastic with superior properties with which you can have oil, balm or our other bearded products Let the comb flush flushing and thereby massaged organically in your beard.
Metal
Sublime polished stainless steel is more or less indestructible and you also have in stylish variants.
Swedish Mr. Bear Family, for example, has a qualitative collection of the imaginative collection that many people at Zweren. Stainless steel and metal are of a harder matter and because of this you have to be careful that, especially with the metal unpolished variant, you are not working too rough. Chance of damage Is then present.
Enough choice of various high -quality tools where, once you have made the right choice, you can no longer do without.
NB!
When using beard combs made from Hoorn and Wood you always have to pay attention with wetness. If you save the beard comb of these materials 24/7 in a relatively damp bathroom on your shell, this can have a negative influence on your instrument.
If there is too high humidity in this room, wood can warp and Hoorn can smell dirty at some point. So good to know because if you take this into account, you extend the life of your Beard Gear.
The beard brush
This beard care instrument usually consists of the plastics and the wooden grip.
They come in various shapes and designs, but the majority of men find the beard brush in oval shape the most comfortable in hand. And preferably from, for example, pears or bamboo wood.
The most important are the brush hairs with which you are your beard takes care of and keeps in shape. You can choose the synthetic variant, but the most used are the boar hair beard brushes Or pork hair or a mix of this with polyester hair.
With regard to the lifespan of these instruments, the same applies again as for the beard combs made of wood and Hoorn: note that they are not consuming in a (too) damp bathroom on the H2O planchette. The glue of the hair can easily release at some point.
Also with synthetic brushes. Wood can work so that the brush shape changes or even distorts and breaks down.
