Combs made of Snakewood - The special wood for exceptionally beautiful combs.

Snakewood is a very hard and beautiful wood. It can be perfectly polished but is hard to saw because it is very hard.

Dr. Dittmar has for the first time snakewood (also called tigerwood or muscat wood) for the used in the manufacture of high-quality hair combs. Until now, this wood was only use in the manufacture of musical instruments or earlier, in very expensive walking sticks.

The exceptional grain of the wood is unique to each comb different. The wood is very hard - therefore the edges, after they have been carefully rounded, extremely gentle on the hair and there is no Fraying of the wood. This is good for the hair because this property is equivalent to horn.

Furthermore the snakewood combs can absorb human hair fat and thus act antistatic after some time of use.

Combs made from this Material is extremely rare - only available at Rasur-Online in Europe. They last with normal use and care (occasionally oiling with native Olive oil helps) last almost forever and is excellent for hair care.
