Acetate Tortoise Shell comb by Officine Universalle Buly - A short review and a video too

This comb is a Swiss made comb sold by Parisian brand Officine Universalle Buly, a brand that started off as a perfumery in the 1900s, disappeared and then was resurrected in the late 1990s and now owned by the LVMH group today. They usually sell perfumes, lip balm, brushes and combs. I think their Swiss made combs are the best I've used even beating the Kent Combs comb that I have been using for years.



The Officine Universalle Buly comb is made out of acetate and mimics tortoise shell. A pattern that is absolutely gorgeous and somehow suits combs and most importantly, the frame of eyeglasses. You see many the most well known is the Wayfarer by Ray-Ban. 

These are hand finished - they like to say hand made, but I think pouring acetate into a mould doesnt really count but the teeth are hand polished and rounded individually. The Buly comb has even better rounded teeth than the UK made Kent Combs. This is the best comb in the world. I somehow think that these could be made by Spert of Switzerland, but they only seem to have the tortoiseshell pattern like the Kent one above. Not like the Buly. 

The comb isn't something you think of paying 50Euros for, but as an affordable luxury, well worth it. And your scalp will actually thank you for using it. it is the experience you get when you buy it at the boutique (I was in Milan for mine).

It is an experience to be remembered. Note that luxury often comes with the experience and here, you get a calligrapher writing your name out on the wrapping paper for the comb or brush, or lip balm case which you can also get initialed. 



Here is a video review on the comb.
