Clipper-mate Pocket Comb 5" All Fine Teeth

The other day, I misplaced my Goody comb and I decided to find a backup comb. I have had it for a long time now. It is almost 6 inches long by 1 inch and 1/2 inches wide. It has very soft plastic. These combs are somewhat similar, but not as wide. I would have given it 5 stars, but it is not as wide as the Goody I have now. Why can't they make Goody combs they way they used to? I guess that after using these combs for a time, the plastic will not be so rough on my scalp. I tried to break one without success.

I bought this Clipper-Mate comb because I had one when I was younger that lasted years. I remember that it had rounded teeth and was very comfortable on the scalp. Good times. But I got this one and the first run across my head hurt like hell. The teeth on it are sharp and scratch the head, which causes dandruff btw, and it is nothing like the classic ones made back in the day (is anything, really?). Incidentally, it also broke within a week which went against the "Unbreakable" lettering scrawled on it. I was very upset, to say the least. However, I found another little black comb purely by accident at my local Sally Beauty Supply shop by a company called "Mebco" that is much better quality: thick, rounded teeth that glide through the hair without pulling and scratching and it is tough as nails (I have had it for two months in my pocket, styling it with pomade constantly and not cleaning it, and it is still flexible and truly worthy of the Unbreakable claim other combs flaunt, but shouldn't; just as good as the old Clipper-Mates before they "sold out". The price is way better too: 89 cents for one, not $4. My suggestion: head over to your closest Sally Beauty Supply and get their Mebco pocket comb. In fact, get lots of them and stock up! If you don't have a Sally Beauty by you, go on their website and order one from there. Just don't buy this Clipper-Mate impostor and be deceived like I was.

I use it more for shaving and trimming my facial hair so I'm not sure if this review is helpful for anyone out their but this comb is smooth so it allows my razor to glide through it without getting snagged. It also pretty flat which is a plus since some of these type of combs are sometimes plumped and curved.

This is listed as MiUSA, clearly it’s not. Combs actually feel a bit cheap/ flimsy. Cheaper made in China options available, would not pay this price for non USA made.

I had one of these combs for years without ever realizing how significant that little word "unbreakable" on the spine is. When I lost mine I tried a wide variety of other "break resistant" combs but they all snapped or lost teeth within a month or two. Most of the combs I was able to find in stores had the traditional fine and coarse sections but I prefer only fine teeth.As other reviewers have noted, it goes against the grain to buy an item where the shipping is more than the price of what you're buying, but I wasn't able to find these combs in any store, so I bit the bullet and paid. Now I feel that in some small way my world has gone back to normal.If you want a comb that will last until you lose it -- and prefer only fine teeth -- this is what you want.

I bought this at the same time I bought a Kent comb, both as stocking stuffers for my husband. This doesn't look pretty and doesn't come in any fancy packaging, but it fits in the back pocket of a pair of Levi's perfectly. The Kent combs are either too small for my husband's hands or too long for a back pocket. It does seem to be sturdier than the Conair and Revlon combs that keep breaking in his pocket and will save me money in the long run, as long as he doesn't lose it.

I like this comb. It's a credible replacement for the Ace pocket comb that is no longer made in the USA and now made in China from brittle, sharp plastic instead of hard rubber. The Clipper-mate Pocket Comb isn't made in the USA, either, but at least it has much of the feel that the Ace pocket comb used to have, and it lasts about as long.

WHAT??? ONE COMB FOR ALMOST $5! And NO RETURNS NO MATTER WHAT???!!!Somehow in the craziness of Christmas shopping I missed that this as all of ONE COMB for nearly $5. And that may be because the same listing also has choices for 25 and 2 combs. Anyway, I was blown away when it arrived today and had all of 1 plastic comb of not discernible "glam" compared to other sets of multiple combs that i have bought on Amazon before.Anyway, I was hoping to return it since 99+% of Amazon items are even more forgiving for returns at Christmas. However, when attempting to see if a return was possible with this item, the only dialogue comes up is one that says something to the effect of "Returns are not permitted." I could understand that if I had used it. However, I suspect I'm not the only person who mistakenly ordered this single comb for over $4 and they don't give a flip. So, BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!
