Real HORN beard comb & beard brush hard bristles HANS KNIEBES made in Germany

The combs are elaborately handcrafted from carefully selected horns of the water buffalo (bubalus bubalis). Primarily, the horns of buffaloes aged six to seven years are used, as these are characterized by sufficient size, stable structure, and attractive grain. The ever-changing and unique pattern of the horn makes each item a one-of-a-kind.

To make the buffalo horn stretchable and deformable and to be able to bend it into flat plates, it is carefully heated. Afterwards, the buffalo horns are cut to shape using elaborate, traditional craftsmanship techniques. The cut-out spaces between the wide teeth of the comb do not end straight but run diagonally into the web. This manufacturing technique is called Karlieren. The comb glides better through the hair and the risk of damaging hair is significantly lower. Finally, the combs are carefully polished in three steps. In the third and final step, the surface of the combs is polished to a shine with a fine polishing red and beeswax.

"Genuine Horn" is a natural product: color and grain vary with each individual horn and each handcrafted item made from it. Therefore, we cannot guarantee to deliver this item exactly as pictured. The dimensions given above are reference values. The size may vary by about 5 mm. The combs are not always perfectly straight; sometimes they are slightly curved due to the natural properties of the horn.
