This one's gone and it isn't coming back.
Maple body, walnut handle, cut and finished by hand. About 3 inches square and a half inch thick, with long teeth built for a big beard. Every one got sanded and filed smooth, then friction-polished with a beeswax and mineral oil blend so it wouldn't drag. No two looked the same because wood doesn't work that way.
Two woodworkers made these for us. Brian T. first, then Matt Bell in North Carolina. Both stopped. We've looked for a third and haven't found one who can do it at a price that makes sense.
We're leaving the page up because people still search for it and we'd rather tell you straight than let the link die. If you need a comb today, the Carbon Fiber Beard Comb is what we actually stock, and it's a Chicago Comb Company Model 1 made in the USA. Different animal, but a good one. For a bigger beard, the Carbon Fiber Beard Pick has the wider teeth.

Bought as a gift for my dad. He likes it and said the carrying bag is also very cool.
After my car was broken into last week while on vacation, I lost many sentimental and important things. I had bought the Big Beard Comb from TBC years ago, and I didn’t think twice about ordering it again. But I should have.
The comb that arrived in the mail is nothing like the comb that I originally had. This new comb is worse in every way. Each tooth feels like it’s made of balsa wood and flexes with a light touch. My original comb was actually big, at least 25% larger than this one. I can’t even get this comb through my beard because the teeth are so small, weak, and cheap. The handle used to be beveled as well for easier holding, and that’s gone here too.
It seems as if TBC has either been bought out, or have cheaped. I would have been more than happy to pay double the price to get the quality of the original product I remember. Unfortunately I will be moving on and looking for a new comb from somewhere else.
Great comb well made
At first sight I thought this comb was a little smaller than anticipated, but after using it I realized that it was the perfect size. It engages the beard in manageable pieces, which make removing tangles much easier. Using it from the neck line up, it adds volume to my beard without snagging. The blunt ends take some getting used to as they do not feel like a comb, but more like small fingers. My beard is about ten inches long, and the teeth manage to handle it with ease. The quality is good, and the appearance is pleasing. I use this comb every day and don't know how I got by without it.
I picked this up after seeing it on the TBC Instagram account. It's been out of stock/unavailable for awhile, and I saw they got a new supplier. I purchased the old one over 5 years ago, so I figured it was time for an upgrade. And it's the same quality as the old one, and feels better running through my beard. Side by side the teeth are slightly closer together, but are just as wide. I use my old one in the shower, and the new one after. (I do have a 12 inch beard, so it's completely worth it!)
