Review title is It replaces my favorite German made comb at a fraction of the price. [SEP] For years I've used the German made Hercules Sagemann model 1623-434.  It's a great comb made of hard rubber.  But they're hard to find in America.  And they're expensive (about $14.00 each).<br /><br />The Cleopatra model 450 is also made of hard rubber.  And the size, feel, and flexibility is almost identical to the Hercules Sagemann.  Yet the Cleopatra costs less than a dollar per comb!<br /><br />For such a low price, I assumed the Cleopatra was probably made in China.  Nope.  I called the manufacturer (Krest Products Corp, Leominster, MA), and they confirmed that it was made in the USA.  Needless to say, I won't be buying the expensive Hercules Sagemann anymore.
