@DanCBearded5 жыл бұрын
Great question! The first time you use the comb in your beard you are going to be covering it in beard oil anyway, so there can be absolutely not harm done. However, there is benefit. After you have cleaned the comb, there are small pores in the comb, even though you cannot see them. The oil is going to be clean and seal those pores. Especially if you allow the oil to sit for some hours before using it.

Well done! I did wonder why a comb-cleaning video would be longer than for brushes. I didn't think Kent's cellulose acetate combs were at all porous, although I could see oiling ox horn, which very well could be somewhat porous. I do wonder how you kept nearly all the gold lettering on the Kent comb intact, the coating comes off of mine rather quickly.

I use this comb every single day, and it is a good 9 months old too. I am not sure how the lettering has stayed so well. Maybe it is the oil coating after the wash?
