Great quality, perfect on bathroom counter, worth 2x the price
I already had two favorite beard oils, did NOT have a balm product like this includes, or a good set of sharp scissors, or a small brush.  I also didn't have a place to put my beard stuff.<br />When I opened the box and looked at everything, I cleared off my bathroom counter and set it up.  A week into it, I'm loving it.<br />The brush and the counter caddy are made of laminated bamboo - seems solid and durable.  Some small imperfections, but questionable whether they'd ever spark a complaint in a 5-star hotel/resort.<br /><br />The hatchet style comb is nice, good quality, made of finely sanded but un-coated pear wood.  Like many, I was not familiar with pear wood, and wanted to try it.  It's lighter, less dense than sandalwood, and has no significant fragrance of it's own.  It absorbs a lot of beard oil - I applied and worked it in about 5 times before I thought it was ready to go.<br />However, it doesn't seem to handle or distribute the oil as well as sandalwood.<br />The comb is a bit larger than most others of this contour, and if you plan to sit on it getting in/out of vehicles, the combo of size and less density of the pear wood makes it likely that the comb will break through the center.  Some may like pear wood vs sandalwood, but using both materials every day, I definitely favor the sandalwood.<br />Hatchet style?  YES!  They should all have that face-hugging contour.<br />Scissors are well-made, tight and sharp stainless steel, and have a pivot screw that can be tighted as needed in the coming years.<br />The brush is a nice size, really rather optimal for short to medium beards, and perfectly sized to dip in the beard balm can... although they don't state that use for the brush. For a long beard you will likely want a larger brush for speed.
