When a comb breaks, it becomes useless, especially if it's missing a number of teeth. You can no longer comb your hair with it, as you'll likely as not leave strange patterns on your head, depending on how many teeth are missing. I feel like an expert on this, as many of the combs that I've bought over the past few years have ended up this way.Finding the ACE Combs All Purpose 7" Comb here was just a matter of chance when I was looking for something else entirely unrelated. It was sitting there in the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" just below the CR2032 Lithium-ion batteries that I had been considering, and yet it was quite coincidental because YADC (Yet Another Drugstore Comb) had broken a few days before. And this was specifically the one that I had been looking for, the personal flashback model, the one with half regular and half fine teeth, the kind that I had used years ago yet seem to be missing from the drugstore shelves and racks today. I grabbed it.I could have bought the ACE All Purpose Mock Turtle Finish Comb, but I had been looking for the old, original black hard rubber comb that I had remembered from earlier times, the one with about 65 fine teeth and around 35 regular teeth. And when it arrived I checked it out and that's exactly what it is. I don't know if it's still made of hard rubber anymore, but it didn't snap when I flexed it, so I have no complaints so far.For those who are prone to losing them, there's also the ACE Comb, 7"All Purpose (Pack of 3), which may be confusing as the product specs say "1 Piece count," but it's a pack of three of these as reviewed above, just from a different distributor at the time of this writing.While I was waiting for my original order to arrive, curiosity about the origins of combs made look up the history of these simple gadgets that we take for granted until they break. They're among the oldest tools found by archaeologists. As early as 5500 B.C. the ancient Egyptians carved out combs, and in ancient China, they were worn as hair accessories that reflected one's social status.Combs have been discovered in very various forms from settlements dating back to 5,000 years ago in Persia. In their earliest forms, combs were carved from wood and sometimes from bone. Tortoiseshell and ivory were common high-fashion combs, but concerns for animals' rights shifted to predominantly wooden, hard rubber and plastic combs.There are said to be three types of combs; functional hair combs, decorative combs and flea combs. Regular hair combs are used to style and maintain ones hair. Decorative combs are meant to dress up the hair, and serve absolutely no purpose in taking care of your hair. Flea combs are used to search for tiny parasites like fleas, lice or crabs. And do note that sharing combs is not recommended, as that's a common method of transmitting fleas, crabs, lice and even infections. So to keep your hair and scalp healthy, wash your comb regularly with a decent shampoo.I hope that you found this bit of trivia about the humble comb to be interesting if not enlightening. As I noted in the beginning: a comb is just a comb... except when it breaks. Mine is still going strong.4/12/2012

My mother always used ACE Combs on my long locks during the days of "no tears". This comb is well made and pulls much less than others.

Good value for basic combs.

Didn't feel sturdy when I bought it. But I've used it daily for a month or so, and it's held up perfectly well. It's a comb; what can I say? I don't use the bigger half of the comb, but it's nice to have, I guess.

Needed a new comb for vacation. Worked great.

The older style ones are much better. These are the hard brittle plastic version, and they just break after a few weeks.
