    Look into combs made of cellulose acetate, I stumbled upon this term while trying to Google what brand my stupid comb is. That type of comb is popular among men for beards and I'm getting the impression they're typically seamless.

    If I remember to check my other comb brand or otherwise figure it out, I'll come reporting back.

    Edit to add: Mason Pearson makes carved combs. I don't know if the teeth width will be too your satisfaction or not though. I still haven't found the brand in trying to look up.

    Edit 2: found another potential candidate if you're ok to take a gamble, Hercules Sägemann branded combs. I can't recommend them because I don't know anything about them but they appear to be seamless from pictures. Still no luck finding my brand. I'm giving up for the night.
    Thanks so much for looking/trying! I did end up ordering the Hercules Sagemann large Magic Star off of Amazon, hopefully it fits the bill and I won't have to think about this anymore. It's hard finding a comb that fits all the requirements, a lot of the seamless brands don't have combs with wide enough teeth. I hope Eternally in Amber combs come back though, because their combs look so pretty and so many members here recommended them.

    I bought mine from Hairsense, the bone combs:
    http://hairsense.com/combs/bone-combs/

    The "master rake" or "handle rake" I think are ones you might be looking for.

    I have the volumizing one (without the handle), and it comes pretty darn near to a Madora comb.

    Yeah I already dealt with them, the point of this post was really trying to find something that WASN’T Hairsense. Original post has brief backstory.

    I’m guessing you never had any issues with them?

    gin, my seamless combs are
    Madora
    Swissco
    Eternally In Amber
    Bone Comb (Hairsense)
    Scunci antistatic
    Cricket Silkomb

    Since I started using a Wet Brush I hardly ever use a comb. Occasionally I use one for the heck of it or for parting my hair but mostly my Wet Brushes are what I reach for now. If I were to choose a favorite comb that sort of fits what you seem to be looking fot it is my Madora but it doesn't have a handle.

    No and I have 3 combs from them. 2 separate orders. My combs are fine, and my orders went fine.

    I'm pretty sure I have an Eternally in Amber comb that I never use if the new comb you ordered doesn't end up working out, it's the same style as the one deeisme posted, so no handle..

    Thanks for letting me know, much appreciated! I'll be sure to send you a PM if I want to take you up on it. Tomorrow is wash day so I'll try this Hercules Sagemann comb out and see how it goes.

    lapushka, are your combs completely 100% smooth on the teeth and between the teeth? I got the replacement combs from Hairsense today, and while they are much better than what I originally received, they still have a couple of tiny ridges and indentations in a few places. I don't know if they are big enough or rough enough to catch on any hair, but it's definitely not completely 100% smooth. I just want to know if this is normal for these types of combs, and if it's worth raising another complaint or not.

    The Hercules Sagemann from Amazon is very smooth in between the teeth, though I like the spacing and size of the Hairsense one better. Who knew that this would be such an ordeal! Or maybe I am just way too picky about these combs!

    gin the brand of the other seamless comb I have is di prima. I'm getting the impression they're going to be a pain in the butt to get ahold of though, I don't think the manufacturer sells directly to consumers and the one I looked at on Amazon that might have spacing you like is flagged "currently unavailable"

    Mine are, and I have the volume bone one and the two biggest spaced ones. And the thinner spaced rake (forgot about that one somehow and I use it every washday LOL ). I often compare the Hairsense ones to my Hercules Sägemann combs, because they are very comparable.

    Keep at them if they are not totally smooth, because they should be!
