The Forgotten Tool

Nowadays men's hair care is given more attention than in the past.  It may not look it though, given all the 'messy' and 'bed-head' hairdos.  Shoot, look at that mop-headed boy Justin Bieber.  His entire career was launched by that bouffant atop his head.  Ridiculous. 

Conversely, there was tool in the days of yore every gentleman possessed that has since been forgotten - the comb.  
A fine gentleman's tool.

Unfortunately, the generation now appears unable to grasp the ample benefits the comb provides.  Parting the hair just so, no rogue strand sticking up.  Using it to evenly spread the right amount of pomade.  Ah, what a treat.

Clark Gable - no stranger of the comb

It was preposterous for a man to use a brush in my day.  That was a tool designated for women.  A  brush couldn't be carried in your back pocket.  Only a comb could, thus part of it's appeal.

Remember the comb - a true American gentleman's tool.  Hold to it with vigor.
