Solution puts teeth into cleaning dirty combs
Before I get into the proper cleaning of a comb, I thought I would share with you a little history about a product called Barbicide. It's this product that barber shops and beauty shops use to clean their combs after use. As a young lad I would go to the barber shop and see a large jar filled with a blue fluid standing tall next to the mirror. The barber would reach into the jar, get a comb, rinse it thoroughly with water, and proceed to cut my hair.
