two combs one stars one star [SEP] i bought two one for home and one for workthe home one is great best comb i have ever owned by far works great for the beard and i end up using it on my hair as wellthe one at work smells awful i let it sit for a while to air out but that did not help i washed it repeatedly but that did not help on one side the surface is not smooth it looks like half of that side of the comb was gouged the good comb is smooth on both sides this one smells strongly like rotting fecal material it is not getting any better i grew up with horses and worked on a cattle ranch i can tune out a certain amount of odor but this is repulsive i do not want it anywhere near my beardif i could be sure that this is just a random bad comb i would buy a new one to replace it but at this point i have one good and one bad those are not good oddsupdate i let the smelly comb sit in the back of my closet for a couple months every now and then i soaked eucalyptus essential oil into the scratched up side of the comb it does not smell anymore
