Comb suited for detangling long, straight hair.
The MECCA view
Ideal for bringing shine to long, straight hair, The Traditionalist – The Eldest comb restores its magnificence. This comb from the Officine can masterfully tame length: its teeth come in wide or fine spacing and make detangling softer. It fits perfectly in the hand and is available in two colours: black or amber yellow. Its large size makes it ideal for use in the bathroom. Its slightly angular lines make it one of the most popular combs among lovers of beautiful things and other aesthetes.
This comb is handcrafted in Switzerland by one of the last manufacturers in Europe. Cut from a block of very high-quality acetate, it is shaped, sculpted and then polished. The teeth and notches are especially arranged so as not to injure the hair. A plant fibre, the acetate reveals a unique pattern specific to each comb.
This luxurious object is stored in our famous velvet pouches to be transported safely.
Other details
This is undoubtedly an exercise resulting from the principles of goldsmithing. Twelve steps are necessary to manufacture each comb of the Officine Universelle Buly.
The process begins with the cutting of acetate according to the template of the chosen model. The shaping then consists of adjusting the acetate to the design of the comb. Polishing and dulling are then necessary steps to round off the angles and sharpen the teeth. The manufacture of the comb continues with the meticulous making of the teeth: the acetate is sawed to draw the teeth that are then faceted.
Ultimate beauty treatment: the sanding smoothes the surface and rounds the tips of the teeth. Lastly, the comb is brushed.
The steam bath gives shine and the polishing carried out by the expert hands of the craftsman complete this high-quality product of great merit.
Usage
Softness and dexterity are the key words of a successful disentangling operation: it is unnecessary to force your way or to comb too frankly.
Warnings
In order to guarantee the integrity of acetate-made products, a particularly sensitive material, these products should not be exposed to strong sources of heat and humidity. Contact with chemical substances should also be avoided.
This comb can be cleaned with a cloth and a little water.
A little trick known to all eyewear manufacturers, being a natural fibre, acetate must be hydrated twice a year with a rich texture such as shea or coconut butter.
