THIS IS AN ONGOING ITEM!

The Groetsch family has been creating their combs since 1848, it is a father, mother and daughter operation, which is pretty incredible as they are fairly well represented in Germany. The father's father was the last master combmaker in Germany. Today all of their work is still done in the traditional way by hand. There is no finish on the wood; as the teeth are so well polished there is no exposed fiber on the comb. It is great to use on wet or dry hair. Their machinery is 150 years old; they have been generating the power they need by water turbine since 1900. What power they do not need they sell back to the state. It's all very idyllic and every time I use the comb I think of me in New York and them working away in their workshop. I believe objects either harbor their own being and give off an energy or we instill a certain energy within things. These combs provide a daily dose of tranquility, they radiate happiness and satisfaction.
